Re: #25 Chain Drive Experience ???
25 Chain is more than enough for drivetrain applications, assuming you have it aligned correctly.
To align sprockets, get a nice flat edge and span the distance between the sprockets. You should quickly see if they are aligned.
If you're direct driving the center wheel, use 25 chain for the front and back. Even a break won't put you out of business. If you are are not direct driving, use a double sprocket. Run one chain to the wheel in front of the transmission, and one behind.
The key to a successful drivetrain is NEVER reling on a single component, because it will break. From experience. (See Michigan State Champs 2011 where we sat motionless for 2 matches).
