The old school guys will tell you to just cram three fingers under the chain to set the slack and send it.
Ok, sweet. And if you happen to have 58 mm fingers (less the thickness of the chain sliders) then your chain's in spec. But if not, who knows what slack you'll end up with.
Excessive chain wear, sprocket wear, slider wear, left side wheel bearing failure, primary shaft bearing failure and primary shaft oil leaks can all be the result of improper slack adjustment.
You can set YOUR slack with a finger, a toe, a block of wood, or just wing it. We'll be setting OURS with the Taco Tensioner.
All our Taco Moto Co. 3D printed products are produced by high school kids in our neighbourhood studying 3D printing and manufacturing. Our partnership with these clever and innovative kids gives them real exposure to business, creativity, design and fabrication, and hopefully a leg up from practising those skills so young — plus a real boost to their confidence about pursuing technical careers if they choose to. If you have any ideas for products, I know they'd be stoked to hear about them.
