My favorite one used surgical tubing to move the outside wheels farther out. In the end there is no true answer but a endless supply of them. You have all summer, I would say to experiment a little and find a unique solution that is your design. Keep it up.

Stupid question, Theres a KoP tensioning system? because if there is, I would be a very happy man.

Thanks

I used a 1/8keyed shaft in the picture and I put an E-clip on the end of the wheel to keep it in place.
Do you still want up close pictures?
