Re: pic: Drivetrain WCD
I'd agree that two chain loops would be a good idea. Those idlers will probably add a fair bit of friction, and may be failure prone, depending on what size bolt you have in there. And if an idler fails, or a chain breaks on that run, you'll loose that entire side of the drive. With two loops, you can fail a chain, and still have a wheel or two on that side.
