hi all
just been thinking of the recumbent im building and i have the chain guide rollers sorted cut down skateboard wheels.
iv been thinking about tubing to guide the chain i thought of good old garden hose as its soft enough not to damage the chain but hard enough that the chain wont wear threw it after 5 mins. only thing is will it be ridged enough ???? i dont want to have a clamp securing it every 6 inches. my other idea was the blue mains water pipe strong enough and shouldn't damage the chain but will it be to stiff ???
any ideas or thoughts will be gratefully revived
thanks
