This was a concern for me as well. However, I used the formulae to find the proper distance for the sprockets, which comes out nicely if the two sprockets have the same number of teeth. Since the chain lengths are so small, (less than a foot)... I'm hoping that stretching with not be an issue.

I've attached my sprocket distance calculator for those interested.

Thanks for the encouragement!
