Default Re: chain tensioner

Excellent job, but I do have one suggestion. Typically most chain tensioners will have their pivot points leading, and the roller trailing, the direction of the chain rotation. Your roller is leading and your pivot point is trailing. Would be real simple to just turn the unit around. I doubt you will experience the potential over center problem but something to keep in mind.
