In 2001, we (258) used pieces of delrin as tentioning devices on our drivetrain.
By cutting roughly (Thursday morning, at the Los Angeles Regional), and drilling holes wide enough to feed chain through, with another set of holes to suspend the blocks with pullties. Two per wheel, two wheels per side, eight blocks total.
Yes, it was a very makeshift system, but it worked like a dream.
I wish I had a good picture of the system, right now, but you can almost see it at the bottom of
this picture. The white cubes are delrin, the white strands are pullties, and the black strands are the tentioned chain.
