    Chain spec chart

    Found this. http://www.didchain.com/specs.htm It lists the width (they call it pin length) and several other aspects of DID chains.

    Thought the chart might be helpful when looking for chains for conversions.

    I.E. ... a 520 ERV3 is .732" wide .

    My current 530 RK chain is almost an inch wide! .98something...

    That saves 1/4" ! The ERV3 520 is rated to 8,660 lbs.

    Thanks GS1000 for the heads up on the DID chain.

    That 520 chain is strong enough, but the sprockets are narrower than 530 sprockets so, theoretically anyway, the sprockets will wear faster. Do you have a rear wheel conversion on your bike? If so, 520 may be a good idea but otherwise I recommend 530.

    To measure is to know.

      Yes I have a 180 series tire. Posted this up so people doing custom conversions could add it to their reference bookmarks.
