The tensioning system will be spring powered so that we wont really have to check on the chain too much.

When you say don't take the chain through a tube, what do you mean? Would the in side the side channel there count as your tube?

Because WCD are done with live hex axles most of the time, teams use bearing blocks and then hex bearings. I can't remember who right now sells the bearing blocks(AndyMark?), but I do remember that AndyMark sells the bearings.
Garrett, it looks awesome.
