Re: Primary Drive Chain

I'm doing the same thing and was just wondering: is that equivalent to 428 chain?

Re: Primary Drive Chain

Hi Cas

Don't know what 428 chain is, but buy 1/2" x 5/16" x 69.

the 0.305" is the inner width between plates, so 0.3125" between plates is OK.

Made myself sound very knowledgeable there...........I confess Ian Wright put me straight.

Kind regards

Pat

ps I posted something else on Chain Dimension Terminolgy....coz wasn't sure.

Hi Cas

I think the Renold part number is 110 046 69.

Can't say for sure if you will get a Made in England Renold chain though.

Re: Primary Drive Chain

You can still get Reynolds chain...but it's very expensive..

I use Regina chain which is readily available and is dimensionally very similar to the Reynolds spec...and I've found it to be durable...

Many Japanese chains have thicker side plates and longer link pins to accommodate this, so are slightly wider overall....

'428' is the equivalent for the primary chain...'520' the equivalent for the 5/8" x 1/4" M20 rear chain...

Worth knowing as some suppliers aren't familiar with the Imperial designations...Ian
