#35 chain is the most common type of chain used on mopeds, mini bikes, and full size go karts
. #35 chain has a 3/8′′ center to center spacing between each link pin, a 3/16′′ spacing between inner plates, and is approximately 3/8′′ wide.
What uses a #35 chain?
Applications for ANSI Standard Roller Chains
Roller chains are utilized in many different kinds of applications, including
industrial equipment and farm machinery
. While heavier chains are more suited for large applications, this lightweight 35 chain is generally used in light duty applications.
What size chain is on a regular bicycle?
The chain in use on modern bicycles has a
1⁄2 inch (12.7 mm) pitch
, which is the distance from one pin center to another, ANSI standard #40, where the 4 in “#40” indicates the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch; and ISO standard 606 (metric) #8, where the 8 indicates the pitch in sixteenths of an inch.
Does any bike chain fit any bike?
Are all bicycle chains the same size?
No, all bicycle chains are not the same size
. Size varies on the bike's numbers of sprockets, speeds, the distance between the front chainring and rear cogs, and the number of teeth on them.
What size is a 35 chain?
| Size Pitch (P) Pin Diameter (E) | 35-1 0.375′′ 0.141′′ | 35-2 0.375′′ 0.141′′ | 35-3 0.375′′ 0.141′′ |
|---|
What number chain is on a bicycle?
Bicycle Chains are generally categorized into two types:
1/2 × 1/8 and 1/2 × 3/32
. The first number (1/2) is the chain pitch; the latter numbers (1/8 and 3/32, respectively) indicate the inner width in inches.
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 my chain size?
- The distance from the center of one pin to the center of the next pin, also known as the “pitch” of the roller chain.
- The diameter and width of the roller.
- Plate thickness, determined by measuring the plates from one flat side to another.
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 35 mean on a chain?
If it's #35 pitch it will measure
approximately 10mm
(9.525mm = 3/8 inch), if it's #219 pitch it will measure approximately 8mm (7.774mm).
What is a 35 chain?
#35 Chain:
Typically seen on small wheeled mini-bikes and dead axle karts
. This smaller chain is lightweight and comes with more racing options than it's bigger counterparts. We stock a variation of clutches and sprockets to fit this chain.
What is the difference between 35 and 219 chain?
The only difference is, the
219 sprockets are smaller in diameter than #35 chain sprockets of the same tooth count
.
Are bicycle chains universal?
No. Not all makes and models of bike chains fit on all bikes
. Most modern bike chains are made to the one-half inch pitch, but this dosn't mean all chains fit all bikes.
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.
How do you break in a 35 chain?
How strong is 35 roller chain?
The #35 roller chain looks like nice quality heavy-duty chain but it is only rated at
2,420 tensile strength
& not very strong at all.
How do I identify my Shimano chain?
What can you do with old bike chains?
How to Recycle Bike Chains. The most popular fate for bicycle chains is to
repurpose them with arts and crafts projects, or to donate them to someone who will
. Alternatively, some local bicycle shops will take these off your hands in an attempt to recycle them.
How do I pick a bike chain?
How many links do I need in my bike chain?
A new bicycle chain usually comes with
116 links
. This is long enough for the biggest chainrings and for most distances of rear wheel from front chainrings. So for optimal length a new chain is usually shortened from the 116 links that come in the box.
Are all bicycle chains the same size?
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.
