    I sense a new standard in the offing

    Propose new standard unit 1 plink = 1 pair of wide and narrow links.

    I was thinking 35T could be done [as 17 pairs of plink teeth and 1 wide tooth, 35 teeth in all] if the chain is 105 links [52.5 plink] long and every 35th link is a half link [1 half link between every 17 plink].

    Interesting, should work for any odd number but does limit the total chain length a bit. You could also do a 33 N-N-W with every other link a half link. You’d need a 102 or 105 link chain (or other /3 length)[/quote]
    Don’t be daft, with so many half links the chain stretch will be chronic 😛 My way you only need 3 half links, and lots of spares/patience if you ever have to do a trail fix.

    The same principle could work for other combinations too i.e. 29 teeth (14 plink + 1 wide) with a chain made of four 14 plink segments each joined into a loop with a half link, 4 half links in all.
