how many links in a chain
it's almost time for a new chain and sprockets.
i'm thinking of moving to a 520 chain. and also changing the gearing.
if I go to a 15t front and 43t rear. how many links would the chain need to have. iirc std is 102.
does anyone know the answer or a link to a site that will help me calculate the correct amount of links needed.
thanxs in advance....

Re: how many links in a chain
tbh I have tonnes of fun and often reach 120's, but it's rare I go above the 130's, so losing the top end shouldn't be a big issue hahaha, so still 102 links...

Maybe or was it a mirror

It's as long as the gap between cricket stumps, isn't it, Wicky?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: how many links in a chain
Should be no wider than the diameter of a cricket ball, though I have seen a ball pass through a set of stumps before! Or the other classic was when we played on a pitch 21 yards long rather than the customary 22 - the bowlers were perplexed till we paced it outtony.mon wrote:It's as long as the gap between cricket stumps, isn't it, Wicky?
on that cricketing note even Wickys like their bling...

Re: how many links in a chain
A chain (ch) is a unit of length. It measures 66 feet, or 22 yards, or 100 links, or 4 rods (20.1168 m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong).
Same as the length of a cricket pitch.
How's that for arcania?

Wow!
And I thought it was an endless chain so it wouldn't have any links...
