Re: Is tensioning necessary for #35 chain?

Thanks for all the responses. I think we will try center-center distance in the offseason to verify it works. Our chain runs well not be very long, about 9" center to center. We are using laser cutting to manufacture parts, so accuracy will not be an issue. What I am wondering now is the correct way to calculate sprocket diameter. Is tooth count*3/8" / pi sufficient, especially for small sprockets?
