According to the guy who made it, it's mostly to keep the tensioner from going forward and going into the spokes. It probably provides some extra tension by pulling the tensioner towards the back. It wouldn't compare this mod to other spring tensioner mods, but in my opinion, this is how the tensioner should have come in the kits.
Honestly, I'm still using the stock tensioner with no problems. So merely putting a spring on it can certainly help, I'd think.
Wouldn't the spring need to pull the idler wheel upward though?
