Bend the tensioner so that it's inline with the chain.
Pedal the bike around to make sure it's feeding the chain straight onto the sprocket & when it looks good, put a small screw into the tensioner & into the frame so it wont move.

hello and i got a huffy beach crusier. all i have problems with is that tensioner. i think it is a really bad idea, if it was a gear tensioner i think it would be better. i see on ebay it have a automatic tensioner but they want too much for it .

Kore makes a great tensioner they are on the internet at $35--they clamp right on your frame.

I find the stock tensioner is fine if its set up properly. Skate board wheels are a cool replacement. It's important to say again: bend the tensioner so that it is inline with the chain.
