Re: Chain Tensioner?

Important to note also that chain DOES stretch, expecially the #25 (1/4" pitch) chain common to light sprockets with a high load. You can't always "set it and forget it" - you probably need to include adjustment in the sprockets or idler to take up this change in length of the chain over time. The total amount of adjustment you'll need is one half inch for #25 chain (one complete link, an inside and an outside) - more than that and you add or remove links to make up the difference.
