Why don't the box kit co's sell something like these?
I don't know why the box kit sellers (grubee, gas bike etc) don't sell something like these (seat tube mounted spring rollers) at least as an option. I'd give about $20 or $30 extra plus the standard $100-130 kit just to have it all in one box and be done with it.
I can't in good concience sell these kits to the average person because of the chain-failure/lockup problems.
If I could find a ready supply of a safe tensioner design, I'd be happy to help start a local club to build these and inform the public. A lot of kids want one of these and I tell them its not a toy.
Keep it for your next build. You know these are addicting!

That is a nice tensioner- I bought that roller wheel at TSC last year and have not figured out how to use it. Your design is very good, but due to my specific engine and frame, I cannot lift the design intact- you have inspired me though. Thanks!
