Re: Roller Chain Based Three Speed Transmission

Joe, of course a derailler is much more than a tensioner, it also changes the cog that the chain is on. But to keep it simple for teams without a big budget, and make less shop work to do, make a tensioner that is capable of moving the chain out of the way of the changing cogs.
