I might be wrong, but I think when I looked into this it turned out that McMaster didn&#39;t sell anything usable as bicycle chain since the plate thickness on bike chain is not an industrial standard.  That was a few years ago though.<br>

Hey!<br>I was referred to this site for buying (bike) chain in bulk.  There are several measurements that I don&#39;t know what to select:<br><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1196wd" target="_blank">http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1196wd</a><br>

Pitch: (i think this should be 1/2&quot;, but maybe it&#39;s 3/16)<br>Roller width: ( I thought this should be 3/16ths)<br>Roller diameter: (??)<br><br>This is what I came up with, I choose steel because it was 1/3 of the price of corrosive resistant steel and 5 times less than Stainless steel.<br>

Are these good prices: <a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1199db" target="_blank">http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1199db</a> maybe i need to go with the SS which would make this route not worth it<br>Thanks!<br>
