Never liked that bulky front mass of tubing. it added a lot of weight on the front and the buggy was prone to dig in when the suspension was compressed. The double chain gave a little aggravation. The chains stretched independently. He could never keep good tension on both at the same time. One or the other were always a little floppy. I think he simply removed one. He had planned to redo the front end and a axle conversion but sold the buggy before he got around to it.
Yes, im going to change to a single chain, not a fan of the double row chain.
