Re: Chain Tensioner

Thats what I thought you guys did. I guess since you weren't using a super high force drivetrain the shock load on the chain wasn't great enough to break it. I always thought the reason for chain tensioning on #25 chain was so that it stays taught and doesn't snap when a shock is introduced. This year would be perfect to try going without a tensioner since the forces are so low on the drivetrain.
