How do you maintain chain tension when raising or lowering the outside wheel?
Assuming that the chain shares the same axle that the module pivots on, In theory it should have the same tension in both positions. This is because it's moving on an arc with a constant radius so the distance between the wheel and the pivot point never change.

Thats my understanding of it anyways. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
