Default Re: Chain size ?

I bought a trick chain at the bike store it was a 415. If you have links left over from the first build, get a chain breaker and just add one of them back. It's easier than finding a 415 for sure.

The standard bike chain is either 3/32 (mtb) or 1/8 (cruiser) wide.. the chain that came with your kit is 3/16 wide. You just need to find one that width I think. they are all three 1/2 between links I believe. I have been told there are some garage door chains that will fit. Mostly look for those dimensions I would think. 1/2 x 3/16
