Re: Picking Out Roller Chain
John,

You mentioned in the shifting/engaging gears perpendicular thread that 469 was blowing 1/4 chain quite a bite at the end.

If I may offer some clarification, we ran with them in the playoff at the championship and it is true that they had to fix their drive after every match they ran (that's why we were forced to run every match in the playoffs). But from what I remember, the problem they were having was not due to the 1/4" chain breaking, but rather from it derailing from their idler sprocket.
