Re: Position idlers to get better chain wrap -- a question about good practices.
We used the little things that you take off of the gear end of the big CIMs that come in the kit. They are sort of a spring loaded idler. We have used lots of other hand-made items and also moved the wheels in and out in years past. Last year we had no problem with tension. They kept the chain tight even in extreme situations of flex due to the constant pressure of the spring load. I am sure they can even be used here to get your desired serpentine effect you want which would mimic the serpentine belt system on the alternator on your car. I am not with Cyber Blue (234) anymore but if you contacted one of them I bet they would send you a picture.
