smelling123 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi, Ive just geared my Bantam down using a new engine sprocket. Does anyone have any idea what to do with the chain tension? I cant quite take a link out (its too much) so Im looking at making a tensioner. Does anyone else have similar experience? I used the 14T sprocket. many thanks for any help. cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Can you get half links for your primary chain ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelling123 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Can you get half links for your primary chain ? Not sure, guess that would be the easiest option. The chain is 3/8 X 7/32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonflower Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 If its still a little loose I saw this simple idea a while ago Was thinking of making one similar for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to work well enough although I used ptfe for the 'rubbing bit' and maybe wear will be quick. Since doing this, I have see this on ebay - this would've saved a lot of trouble...for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
