What do you do for chain tensioning? Sliding bearing blocks are one of the cleanest ways of tensioning chain that we've discovered. I suppose you could do exact distances, and hope that your chain is perfectly tensioned and doesn't stretch enough to become a problem, but I wouldn't want a drive train without control over my chain. That's what happened last year basically (and every preceding year), and it was really terrible. We thought breaking chains was a normal thing during operation.
