Hey all... jumping on the SS bandwagon and converting my old 03 KHS Comp softtail. I've got everything together and can't wait to take some pics (and ride it, of course) but I've got a question first.
Regarding the tensioner...Should I:
A) Size the chain from cog to chainring without the tensioner, THEN put the tensioner to take up the tiny bit of slack leftover?
OR
B) do I size the chain including the tensioner?
Right now I am running option B... but it just seems that there will be a LOT of chain slap going on. I'm thinking maybe I need to run option A, but didn't want to fudge something up or put too much strain on the tensioner spring. What say ya'll?
I'll post pics early next week
