automatic chain tensioners
I grew up riding 3-wheelers and at that time ('80's) they were making an
automatic chain tensioner which mounted beside the chain, was spring loaded
and had some type of plastic/rubber/composite roller on it. the thing was
mounted in such a way that the roller kept tension on the chain at all
times, thus eliminating the need to adjust the chain as frequently.
Anyone ever heard of this? Are they still in production for the 4-wheelers
(one too many wheels, IMHO)? Would something like this work for a cycle
(pardon my ignorance of the 2-wheeler world)? It would seem that the
principle would be the same, but I may be missing something.
Thanks for the inspiring, insightful, and comedic reaponses,

P.S. that oil level thing dropped like a lead balloon! Archives very
entertaining though!!!
