I wonder why they route the return side chain up and over an idler. It looks totally unnecessary.
Have noticed after looking at lot of recumbents lately, there doesn't seem to be a "rhyme or reason" for chain routing on a recumbent, LOL!

, single idlers, groups of 2, 3, 4, ect. We looked at a used BikeE and it had "no idler" at all, coming from the DF world, it sure looks complicated and "chain replacment" is gona put a "bite" in the wallet too! I did read on some older model "EZ-1's, that they had a semi-problem with the "chain" jumping off the small chain wheel, maybe the "over/under" helps with that??
