You should see how many versions of chain tensioners I have tried. I have had it spring loaded and ran it as a passive double roller and it turns out the the single roller is the most efficient and quite. I plan too actually weld that flatbar into the frame later when I am ready to repaint it. I have to say it works great and I have never had a stock tensioner destroy my back wheel.

how do you cut the slit in the tensioner for the wheel to slide up in down in?
