Re: Chain Tensioning Method?
That's what we had in mind, making it adjustable through a long range of travel is the fun part! Being able to quickly release the chain tension, and unhook the chain without removing the master link so one can rapidly change a wheel between rounds, is the goal.

Re: Chain Tensioning Method?
You could use something like this.
The grey cylinder is a sprocket, and the side plates (blue) bolt on to the KOP pneumatics mounting brackets (green). In our case, we were going to attach a spring of the right tension to the open axle (bottom-left) and to a bolt which would be driven into the top of the mounting block (red) between the Mounting brackets; but you could as easily attach a pneumatic piston, or anything else. Scale reference: the red mounting block is meant to fit around 1" square tubing.  |
