Re: Arm goes down too fast?

You could do it the other way around -- drill two (small) holes in your sprocket, mount the cable through them, and then have a wider bar as far out on the arm as you can to attach them to for stability. (I'm sure that will give you some issues as far as space and whatnot, too, but it's something to consider. Lightweight reinforcement = good.)
