#41

motorized bike chain. The #41 chain is a strong alternative chain that replaces the 415 & 410 motorized bike chains. (under options select sizes to order 4-8 foot lengths, includes 1 master link) Fits all Manic Mechanic sprockets! Most engine kits come with a 5 foot chain…

What’s the difference between a 415 chain and a 420 chain?

#415 and #415H chain is also known as 1/2′′x3/16′′ chain. #420 chain is the exact same size as #41 chain however

it has thicker pins which makes it stronger

. #420 chain is used on motorcycles, mini bikes, go karts, and motorized tricycles.

Is 40 chain the same as 420 chain?

Difference between 420 chain and 40 chain


Both 420 and 40 chains have the same tensile strength and pitch

, the only major difference is the width between the inner plates of #40 is larger than #420 by 1/16′′.

Can you use any chain on any bike?


All modern bicycle chains are made to the “one-half inch pitch” standard

, meaning from rivet to rivet is nominally 0.5 inches. The sprocket teeth are cut for this same one-half inch standard to accept bicycle chains. However, this does not mean all makes and models of chains are interchangeable.

How do I know my bike chain size?

The easiest way to determine bike chain length is

the largest cog to largest chainring method

. Once the old chain has been removed, shift the front derailleur to the largest chainring, and the rear to the smallest.

What does a 420 chain mean?

The first digit is for chain pitch. This is the distance between the pins. The second and third digits combine for roller width, with a decimal point inserted between the second and third digits. For example, a 420 chain has a pitch of 4/8′′ = 1/2′′ (12.70mm) and a roller width of 2.0/8′′ = 1/4′′ (6.35mm).

Will a 428 sprocket fit a 420 chain?


A 420 and 428 are the same except width

and the pins may be a little bigger diameter on the 428. They shouldn’t be though. Pin length should be the only difference.

What size chain is on a Coleman CT200U?

Is 41 chain the same as 420 chain?


#420 will have more strength than the #41 chain because the side plates will be taller

. #40 will be the beefiest chain in this class. This will help with thicker sprockets since there is more room between the side plates. #41 will look just like the #420 chain, but will stand shorter.

What is a #25 chain?

#25 roller chain is

a 1/4′′ pitch ANSI Standard roller chain designed for light-duty or space confined applications

. It’s the smallest size roller chain on the ANSI spectrum of roller chains but offers ample performance, strength, and durability for its small form factor.

Will a 12 speed chain work on 11 speed?

Condensed answer:

A 12-speed chain can work with an 11-speed cassette

. However, it’s recommended to avoid using a Shimano 12-speed chain because it doesn’t play well with 11-speed chainrings.

Are 11 and 12 speed chains the same?

The chainring on a 1x system will only “see” the internal of the chain, so

yes, a 11 speed chain will work fine with a 12 speed chainring

(that’s usually 11/12sp chainring).

What pitch is 420 chain?

Specifications: Chain No.: 420; Pitch:

1/2′′

; Roller Width: 1/4′′; Roller Diameter: 5/16′′; Sprocket Thickness: 0.227′′.

What’s the difference between a 420 and 428 chain?

The primary difference between 420 and 428 is

the pitch of the links

. A 130 link 428 chain will be longer (and generally speaking, heavier-duty) than a 130 link 420 chain.

How long is a 420 chain link?

420 Motorcycle Chain

What chain size do I need?

If you are using a bike with a derailleur

the number of cogs on the rear hub will determine the chain size you will need

. They are always 3/32′′ chains. You can get a 5/6/7-speed, 8-speed, 9-speed, or 10-speed chains.

How do I know what size chain to get?

  1. The distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next pin, also known as the “pitch” of the roller chain.
  2. The diameter and width of the roller.
  3. Plate thickness, determined by measuring the plates from one flat side to another.

Are there different size bike chains?

Chains come in 3⁄32 in (2.4 mm), 1⁄8 in (3.2 mm), 5⁄32 in (4.0 mm), or 3⁄16 in (4.8 mm) roller widths, the internal width between the inner plates. 1⁄8 in (3.2 mm) chains are typically used on bikes with a single rear sprocket: those with coaster brakes, hub gears, fixed gears such as track bicycles, or BMX bikes.
