Re: Image Discuss: TechnoKat-45 Teaser 45

If I recall correctly, this aluminum sheet cam was replaced by a steel sheet. Only one cam tensioner was used on each tread. The back wheel was stationary, as it was the driven wheel. The front wheel is the one shown in this pic, and its axle was mounted in a slot and tensioned by this cam.

I suggest a wider cam. Our sheet steel cam was probably .06-.09 thick. Give yourself a break and go with a 1/4" thick cam for this type of tension adjustment.

Looking at this thread, I laugh. 2003 was the 4th year out of 5 of which we did treads and we have not done them since. I don't miss those treads, that is for sure.
