Pitch Diameter of Larger Sprocket=D
Pitch Diamter of Smaller Sprocket=d
Errr wow is that confusing or what. I hope someone can find a simpler form than what I just typed. Instead of typing it I scanned them. Unfortunately its sideways.
What type of units is L in? Where exactly do you measure the length of chain? Overall length or between pins or what? Or do you count the number of links?
