What's stopping you from just drilling a 1/2" hole in a 2x1?

My plan was to drill a largely oversized hole (1"+) and then use the clamping gearbox's sliding ability to tension the chain on the sprocket. I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting about running it live axle. Are you saying to just set it up normally as a live axle or something special?
