Re: Picking Out Roller Chain

FIRST outlawed metal cleats in 2003, so I can see why you are thinking about putting rubber cleats on the attachment chain. We actually tried doing this in 2003, with urethane cleats. We aligned our wheels, kept the chain unbelievalby tight, and we STILL threw our chain off. The urethane does no allow for turning as well as metal cleats do, since they were wider and stuck to the carpet better than metal.

What size ANSI chain did you use? Im guessing now from reading it that size 40 chain will be overkill. Also does anyone know the approximate weight by foot of this stuff? Would using double pitch 40 size chain sacrifice any reliability? Im guessing no because the chain is really big to begin with and the fact that the stats on mcmaster's website don't showa a significant differnce.
