Re: what Chain size and tensioner to use for the drivetrain
I always use #35 for drivetrains. I've found that it's much more forgiving when dealing with misalignment. If you've got the skills and resources to keep your tolerances tight, your chain properly tensioned, and a relatively short chain, #25 can work just fine. For something as mission-critical as the drivetrain, though, I prefer the security of the bigger stuff.
