chain tensioner modification

Am I the only dog boy here? I know a lot of us don't hold dogs in real high regard considering the history most have with one really bad dog, but Geez!

You made me laugh! so did kellly I think Rufus and Kieth are cousins or something they do look alike. I knew Rufus was holding out on me he's probably buddies with the stones, I do like them myself.
Have fun!
We are supposed to get some nasty weather sometime today it missed us last night somewhere there was baseball sized hail. Batter up!

Don't mean to get off topic but this one bites if you don't pet him, opens doors and bangs the door to come in when he's outside (don't know how to use the thumb button yet). Excuse me, I meant hasn't figured how to use it with his mouth. He already put his paw through 1/8 plexiglass. Must have been cold out there???

He does these activities regularly, with an occasional suprise in between.

I think he's possessed or something??? Guests are amussed by him but try living in the same house. He's sitting, you say lay down, he stands just to spite you! he's that smart!

Keith Richards looks like he could benefit from some well-positioned tensioners to prop up those sagging bones, and keep the drive train (muscles and connective tissues) in some kind of working order.

But, like an old bike, or David Crosby....put a new chain on a worn sproket, and the whole system could fail.

THAT is a FUNNY pic..

Here is a tensioner I put together for under $3.00 . I used the kit roller and part of the bracket. The springs are 2 in a pack for $1.00 and the 2 metal pieces are .80 cents each. .40 cents for the center bolt.

You will know for sure if your dog is possessed if you play music backwards and your dog starts to levitate and tries to hump your leg.
Mike I really like your chain tensioner that's nice can you do a sort of picture and post story on it? That way the other people on this forum will see how to make one (like me) I have went and made my chain roller out of skate board wheels with the roller bearing and they are supper quiet and smooth I machined the urethane off and got into the black plastic part of the wheel and have a little shoulder on each side so far they work good.
Guys don't ever worry about getting off the topic on the forum I have ADD and get off the topic all the time.
I really like the catfish too that thing could be one mean mother.

Yea Norman, This was the 1st one and kind of a test run. I just finished it today. If it holds up ok, I will be making a few more and will do a photo series as I go. I think it's gonna work out pretty good.

Mike,
Looks like a nice set up but a little close to the rim!!! Tire looks a little off balance, tread is not concentric(fatter on one side than the other). Not knocking the set up, killer job brother!

Norm, glad you can take a joke!, and know when to not take me serious!
