I just shortened the chain by two links (or do you call it one link? An 'inside' and an 'outside' anyway). The chain wrap is a bit better, but the chain is under so much tension that i can easily feel that turning the cranks backwards has a lot more friction.
Hmm... I wonder if i can somehow modify this tensioner to work the other way?
