If we do have to use chain again, we will most likely use #35. Would anyone be willing to help with the math? Because we use 7/16 hex, the biggest sprocket we can buy is an 11 tooth for 35 chain. With this size sprockets what would be the torque load on this?
Why don't you post some pictures of your current setup so we can better offer help.
