You're golden, the less moving parts the better.

Very true, the less moving parts, the better, one less thing to go wrong,,,I've purposely shortened my chains on both sides a couple or three years ago just so I could eliminate tensioners completely as you can see on the pic of my bike below.

To be fair it depends on chain slack. If you have the perfect amount no tensioner needed. You must have put your rear wheel in a different location then it was previously. My frame is jacked , being made by 12 year old Chinese kids, so I have no choice, but if you can adjust everything properly to not need a tensioner, that's a good situation to be in.

Just another one of the reasons that this last time around in May 2020, when the Huffy frame snapped on me, I did my research and measurements and chose the Hyper Beach Cruiser frame...So far, the very best frame I could have hoped for to get everything to fit just perfectly for these two stroke motors...It accomodated the Zeda 80, and now the Phantom 85 without having to reposition a thing in the transition...I couldn't be more pleased with it.

OK...Your under Communism, we're under "Socialism" here in the US...Is there really much difference???...lol...lol.

For what it's worth, and I know it's not much...At least your Trudeau still has more than two brain cells that can at least form a synapse, our Moron in Chief can't even remember that his own son died at Walter Reed hospital and not in Iraq or Afghanistan like he said in a speech the other day...pretty pathetic down here too...lol.

Canada being the 2nd largest country with the population of CA might be 1 of the reasons for limited choices.

He has 3 brain cells, you're correct again!
