I thought I might get slated for doing it....
But running it in the conventional way wouldn't work with the slack chain. Keeping a good chain line with it is difficult so I might put a jockey wheel in, sometime in the future....GT-Steve":w2sewpuy said:BobCatMax":w2sewpuy said:

not from me you won't chap. My Kona is a right pain to run SS as there's no magic gear until you've stretched the chain a bit (mangled mech hanger) Loving the jockey idea too :hero:
you've really got me thinking about this DCD tensioner thing.
Mate of mine (posts on here and bat40a6, i think) is a bit handy with a lathe and milling machine.
We've been talking about this since i mangled the mech hanger earlier in the spring.
so far on the list is to turn a better roller out, with room for bearings, and to cut into the middle to allow the chain to sit better on it, or now as you've illustrated, under it..
I know it's a bit of a hack for you, but it keeps my steed running when otherwise it would be scrap.
i'll let you know how we get on with it, if you're interested...
