Re: Calcualting Chain Requirements (25 v 35)

One thing Tristan hints at but does not state explicitly: #25 chain, because the sprocket teeth are not as tall as #35, requires the tension to be just right to avoid slippage. This happened to us on our ball conveyer last season. #35 is a lot harder to get to slip, even when the chain is badly under-tensioned.
