Yes...the robust doohickey and esp. spring setup compensates(better) for the chain slack up to a certain point. But, even the later torsion spring version cannot compensate properly for a very worn out chain. But, these issues normally don't show up till at least 20k miles or until someone overtightens during adjustment. Posted by: nakedwaterskier@...
