constrain a roller chain to follow an lofted anglebar

Hi
Do anyone know how I should constrain a roller chain (2 rollers) to follow
an lofted anglebar consisting of straight and curved sections.

I want to drive the roller chain

You might be able to use a transitional constraints but would need to do so
one each link and then it would not move past the areas where the slope of
the anglebar changed.

In *general* trying to drive a flexible object like a chain or belt is not
possible (or worth the effort).
