Buying chain in bulk
Hey! I was referred to this site for buying (bike) chain in bulk. There are several measurements that I don't know what to select: http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1196wd Pitch: (i think this should be 1/2", but maybe it's 3/16) Roller width: ( I thought this should be 3/16ths) Roller diameter: (??)
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. Are these good prices: http://www.mcmaster.com/#drive-chain/=1199db maybe i need to go with the SS which would make this route not worth it Thanks! cris
I might be wrong, but I think when I looked into this it turned out that McMaster didn'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.
