WizWheelz split chain idler

For those who care:

I spoke to Randall at WhizWheelz this morning. They anticipate the arrival
of the split chain idlers in a couple of weeks.

For those that don't know what I'm talking about:

The TerraTrikes have used a single two-channel idler in the front.
Obviously, the chain in each channel is moving in a different direction, but
the idler itself can only turn in one direction. The result is that it
doesn't move much at all and the chain slides over the plastic, making noise
and wearing out the wheel. A split idler will allow each channel to rotate
with the chain and independent of each other.

Now you know. Now go ride your bike/trike.
