Re: pic: Floating Zip Tie Chain Tensioner

Back in '07 I saw Team 8 put a zip-tie around a chain on their roller-claw Now there's a simple method!

I'm curious about what happens when the blocks twist around. I mean, the zip-ties aren't gonna hold them perfectly flush like that. What happens when they twist and jam into the side of the chain?

We had these kinds of problems when we used delrin tensioners in our '06 drive train. The chain was always grinding against the sides of the slots we cut in the delrin. Wasted a lot of power that way.

Very creative though. I like the way you think
