Great idea!
Have you had any problems with the chain skipping off from under your idler?

Looks familiar

Ours were a little bulkier though, they probably weigh a pound each

Nope, for 2 years the only chain we've lost was due to damage sustained to a sprocket from an impact.

It is #25 chain, we've been using it the past few years to help save weight without a problem. We use one chain to power all 3 wheels on a side, so we only need one of these tensioners rather than 2 for 2 seperate chain sections.
