ok, i see your attachment now. i think #3 is just an idler pulley for the chain leading to #1. thus #2 is turned by #1, and accordingly rotates opposite to #1.

Originally posted by Toshi #3 is off the axis of #2 tho, so even if it did turn #2 it would have to go through a gear, reversing the motion in any case.
FACK, we are never going to figure this out!
You are correct there, but how do 1 and 2 drive each other? 1 is on this side, while 2 is on the far side.
Hmmm, I think there might be another ring on the other side of the bike where "1" is.
That would mean the bike goes forward.
But how come there are no more "3" style tensionizers anywhere else on the bike? That is the only chain with more than two sprockets.

i was making the assumption that there was a cog on the far side of #1. as for why there aren't idler pulleys elsewhere, who knows. that span of chain is the longest found on the bike, on the other hand, so it would warrant one if any did
I got the thing imploding and sanjay coming out the other side a mild mannered, quiet aristocrat gently sipping tee and crusing a bike path at the posted speed limit.
