In 2011, and most other years for that matter, we used #35 size chain. We simply set our sprocket locations, made the chain as close to the right length as we could (sometimes using half-links), and were off to the races. No tensioning, no thrown chains, it proved to be very reliable.

I wanted to 3rd this. We have (almost) always used #35 just because it's more forgiving. It's less to worry about and the weight doesn't kill us.
