"Laborious idle" just because the skate wheel needs to be tough; great video as the other two and the result is obviously what we all would like to achieve!! Thanks Gee Man!
On the Kingcycle I noticed it has two idlers, side-by-side. The drive-side (inner) is toothed, do I assume that's to reduce friction as well as provide a good hold on the chain?
Actually. It's not toothed, it has an o-ring in the centre that wears out and needs replacing periodically. A toothed idler is much better as you put lots of pressure on the drive side. I used a plastic one years ago and it lasted around two miles before it destroyed itself. These skateboard wheels seem to be very tough and haven't worn at all yet.

God bless you
I think you can use one idler only, chain coming over and under it.
Put the drill press on slowest speed and use a fresh grinding wheel in the angle grinder. Fast too.
