Re: Belt tensioning solution

You could also slot the whole motor mount, so when you need tension you loosen the bolts and pull the whole motor in the direction needed. Then just tighten the bolts again and whala! a nicely tensioned chain or belt. Everyone of my team's wheel, gearbox, and cable mounts is like this and they work perfectly.
