Ok then I got sorted today to a fashion but what a pain.
Went to Local Evans and they tried several chains. 1-1/8 kmc was a no go. Would wrap the sprocket but not the ring. Tried some random stretched thing out of the bin wrapped both but they were unsure what it was unfortunately. Then tried a 1-1/8 Miche track chain which wrapped both. Result. Sort of.
The shop were quite surprised tbh and not sure what’s going on. Anyway some pictures…and sorry for the links. Flickr never plays nice on the iPad.
The 3/32 kmc chain…you can see the lack of wrap as the teeth hit the pins…

Now the 1-1/8 Miche…wraps fine, but…

The but part.
The shortest I could make the chain is as the following picture. Is this a poor axle point? It’s not giving much room for stretch. Chain is tight and wont fall off however if I’d done the next available link it’s too short. Advice greatly appreciated and if anyone has any clue on the 3/32 or geared chain issue please let me know.
