I should be picking up a Carabela bike this weekend that is fairly complete with the exception of some chrome trim. One thing I noticed missing attaches to the frame just below the swing arm.
Is it a spring loaded chain tensioner with a pulley?
What is this part?
Re: What is this part?
Looks like a tensioner to me . ;)

A out of focus picture
Re: What is this part?
Yep and it's facing the wrong way or rather its not tensioned
Re: What is this part?
Shouldn't the tensioner idler pully be on the underside of the bottom run of chain?

You'd think so if the chain is meant to be lifted , but , these tensioners seem to 'push' the chain down to maintain tension .
Either way does the job as all that's needed is to help keep slap to a minimum .
