For a SS shopper bodge? I have a SS chain from another bike that I thought would fit, but, of course, it's exactly two links (i.e. and inner and an outer) short. Grr...
To add to the complication, it would seem that it's a 5/16" chain, which, I'll be honest, I didn't know existed 😐
5/16 would be very wide.
If you mean 3/16, then yes, I just fitted a new chain to a delivery bike. I'll look for the offcut when I get home later
Hmm, just measured it again.
Outer edge to outer edge width of outer link = 5/16"
Outer edge to outer edge width of inner link (or, I suppose, inner edge to inner edge of outer link) = 3/16"
I'm not sure which bit I'm supposed to take the size from if I'm honest. I have just discovered that it's a SRAM chain though 😕
Right, I checked with [url= http://sheldonbrown.com/gloss_ch.html ]Sheldon[/url] and I should be measuring inner edge to inner edge of inner link, which I've done, and it's 1/8".
Every day is a schoolday...
1/8" is normal SS chain.
The 3/16" chain I've got is an extra wide one on a vintage delivery bike. I ended up buying a 415 motorbike/scooter chain as it's all I could find.
I bought a 1/8" chain for the vintage tandem and tried to fit that at the weekend too.
It turns out that because the chainstays are so long, I need about 126 links and the one I bought is 112, so I'll have to buy another one myself.
