Re: Drivetrain Sprocket

First question is, how much manufacturing slop are you likely to get with the chain? If the chain runs can be made (and kept) very close to straight, #25 chain is a valid option. But if not, #35 is more forgiving of misalignment.

On the other hand, Stronghold. #35 chain would be my gut call, and I've seen Stronghold break that for a variety of reasons.
