No idler at all
I have no idler at all on mine. I am sure this is easier to do on a single speed. This has been the biggest difference in noise and performance that I have found so far. Seems like all I hear is the engine now that the idler is not rattling away with the chain rolling over it. Speed is increase and vibration is reduced by this setup.
I definitely recommend two people do this, one to pull the wheel for tension and the other to tighten the nuts.
