Go to Post Frankly, I love CD and everything it stands for. I've made more friends from this forum alone than I ever expected to meet in FIRST. I'd give just about anything to keep this system up, upgraded and going on long into the future. It's not even enough to show my thanks and gratitude. - BandChick [more]

Re: Chain Drive Question

Oh yes I forgot to mention something FRICTION IS YOUR ENEMY. Gloified plastic chain gaurds are a large drain on efficeny. We used idler sprockets which have built in bearings. We took the idler sprockets and mounted them to a small piece of 80-20 and then bolted the slide to another piece of 80-20 and you simply slide the idler sprocket and then tighten the bolts.

It's simple and easy.
