Chain Tensioning

[Cash4587]

Okay, I have been trying to use 1114's method of not using chain tensioners. In their "Drivetrain Design" presentation it states if you use the biggest sprockets possible that you do not need to tension the chains IF the distance between the the centers of the two wheels is a multiple of the chain pitch. BUT, I have gone online and used some chain distance calculators (http://www.botlanta.org/converters/d.../sprocket.html and http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/chainlength.html) and when I put in a multiple of .375 for a center to center distance, it does not come up with an even number of chain links as 1114's presentation stated. Is this correct? Should I use what the calculators are giving me or what 1114 stated in their presentation? I emailed Karthik already and he forwarded the message to their design lead and I haven't got a response yet. I am very confused on which center to center distance to use. The calculators or 1114's concept of multiples of .375. Well If anyone can help, Thanks in advance!
