Re: Chain Tensioning

In addition to what DonRotolo said, the guideline you're referring to doesn't work unless the two sprockets have the same number of teeth, like in a wheel to wheel connection. Are you looking at a chain that goes from a smaller sprocket on a gearbox to a larger sprocket on a wheel? If so, you can still use your center distance calculator to figure out a suitable center distance that gives a chain length that is a multiple of 0.750".
