Yes, you called it. The wheels aren't cantilevered at all. We have two blocks on each side of the axle with 3 inches between them.

We have had the blocks move, but the tensioners keep the chain from jumping off.

You need to have enough space along the chain to use them, but it seems to work in most situations.

That's a great looking product.
It seems to me that the easiest way to eliminate the problem would be to follow some of the suggestions and statically mount the bearing blocks with a couple of through holes and then use nice tensioners to tension the chain.
