Fitted some tensioners. I had ordered some track bike tensioners in case.

These worked really well! So I thought I'd give it fill power on the stand.
WhirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRR
CLUNK!
Chain off on the other side. But how? So much tension?
I could see the chain had hit the frame.

But the gear should not be that far over. Time for a total disassembly
Initially I thought the bolt had sheered off.

But no. I'd only used regular nuts when I didn't just build up, planning to swap them out for locking nuts before finishing and I'd forgotten.
But with the whole front, body, wheels out no video today.
But I'll take the chance to make some improvements and lose some weight.
Drilling the wheels
Drilling the floor
Cutting a piece out the floor
Widening the wheel slots
Swapping out nuts for locking nuts
Tightening up
Need to get this done fast as I have not yet tested the lifting arm.
