Tennbent,
I bought the orange Baron and My brother Mike bought the White Baron
from Bentupcycles.
I have the same triple as you. Bentupcycles replaced what came with the
my Baron to the triple with a wider Axle.(for chain clearance of the
stock chainline)
Mike put terracycle Idlers on his White Baron and changed his chainline
to low. I believe he used an Idler that he had on another of his bikes.
It is a Terracycle idler and has no problems with that set up. (That I
know of)
I tried this also, but had the same noise problems as you with my (new)
Terracycle idler. I didn't like the low chainline or the noise from the
Terracycle Idler and have since gone back to the original Optima Baron
chainline set-up, with the exception of the chain tube which I removed.
The chain power and return paths clear each other by aprox. 1/8 in.
Result is everything is quiet again and the chain doesn't come off when
back peddeling with the low chainline and wheel turned.
I tried the same (new) Terracycle Idler I bought for the Baron on my 05
Catrike Speed. It was noisy there also.
My question, is this:
What did you end up finding out about your Terracyle Idler. Did you get
it to work quietly? Did Terracyle help?
I haven't contacted Terracyle yet. I though I'd see what you ended up
doing before contacting them.
Thanx.
Greg

His Baron
