WHEN POWER IS TRANSFERRED BY THE CHAIN TO THE REAR WHEEL THE UPPER PORTION OF THE CHAIN IS UNDER TENSION AND THE LOWER PORTION OF THE CHAIN IS UNDER COMPRESSION (FOR DOWNSHIFTING THE REVERSE WOULD BE TRUE). SINCE CHAINS PHYSICALLY CANNOT TRANSFER COMPRESSION FORCES (IMAGINE TRYING TO PUSH YOUR CAR WITH A ROPE), A TENSIONING DEVICE MUST BE ADDED TO THE LOWER PORTION OF THE CHAIN TO TAKE UP SLACK. SIMPLY ADJUSTING YOUR CHAIN SO THERE IS NO SLACK WILL HAVE CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS ON YOUR BIKES TRANSMISSION. YOUR BEST BET IS TO ADD A TENSIONER TO THE DRIVE SYSTEM TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE. PLEASE REFER TO PICTURE BELOW FOR THE CORRECT MOUNTING. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://s130.photobucket.com/albums/p278/CaptainSkidmark/?action=view&amp;amp;current=CIMG1878.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 537px; HEIGHT: 322px" border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p278/CaptainSkidmark/CIMG1878.jpg" width="627" height="459" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Most sprocket sizes available, please email for availability and/or questions...&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2929842430013585614-9191231566550193877?l=74independent74.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2929842430013585614/posts/default/9191231566550193877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2929842430013585614/posts/default/9191231566550193877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://74independent74.blogspot.com/2010/01/chain-tensioners.html' title='CHAIN TENSIONERS'/><author><name>MANCO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02778401136633259875</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929842430013585614.post-4768579658721810915</id><published>2009-11-16T18:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T09:55:07.193-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Projects</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;Below you'll find some on-going projects. &lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2929842430013585614-4768579658721810915?l=74independent74.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2929842430013585614/posts/default/4768579658721810915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2929842430013585614/posts/default/4768579658721810915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://74independent74.blogspot.com/2009/11/68-t120-head.html' title='Projects'/><author><name>MANCO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02778401136633259875</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
