Primary chain tensor ?Cl?p?

[chrisk]

Any modern day chain tensioner has a spring that works the other way, pushing up on the chain. Think of a drive chain on a dirt bike.

What's the point of having a spring pushing down on an adjusting bolt? Agree to stop the tensioner chattering up and down on the bolt, but if the slack was taken up by a heavy enough spring, it wouldn't chatter anyway. Of course, that mean you'd need another one at the top of the chain for throttle off periods. And after saying all that .............. it wasn't a bad design after all.  :

Yes, you answered your own question.

Do you talk to yourself as well?

: Sorry Cam, can't answer that, I'm having an in depth conversation with myself, as to whether or not I'll do the Snowy with the NSW boys this year.

I say yes, but myself says no. Maybe I need to come to a compromise!
