Re: Chain Tensioners

we had some 'C' channel from the kitbot that we weren't using, and we basically cut it, made a groove through it like that (look below), made a slit so that the bolt can slide (not necessarry, i guess, could just use a wing nut, and remove when want to loosen chain), put a bearing on it (represented by the B in the diagram), which pushes up against the chain (labelled C) and tightened the bolt....presto! if you want more info, feel free to pm me
