what Chain size and tensioner to use for the drivetrain
Hi,
We are trying to decide our drivetrain this year, the question came up when discussing the chain size. I'm of the belief that the standard #35 is fine but others think a thinner chain might be better. Any thoughts?
Also in the past we created our own tensioners with store bought pvc but this year we want to buy a manfactured tensioner to prevent the chain to fall off. Does anyone have a good online source?

Thanks
-Ed
