I'm welded on my chain tensioner last night and it keeps flipping over. I had about one inch of chain slack on a david bird hardtail with 4 inches of stretch without the tensioner. When I put the tensioner on it seemed tight and looked to be set up perfect. I took the bike for a quick ride and the tensioner flipped over. We decided to weld in another half inch to the swing arm of the tensioner and it still flips over. Here's a pic of my set up. What do you think I can do fix this? I'm thinking my chain was a bit on the loose sit before I put the tensioner on but I don't want to make the chain too tight.
