Well I have rode this thing everywhere I normally go and its way to much fun! I keep breaking front fender mounts, I guess I have to fabricate my own. Next I need to plan a long trip.........hmmmmmmmm

Now that's what I call a chain tensioner!

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.

wow thats a great built i really like that tensioner

 

[BAMFinCali]

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

I slotted the flat bar with a drill and a dremel tool........time
