Also for FRC, you should add around 0.017 - 0.019" to your C-C distance due to manufacturing tolerances on the sprockets and chain. See this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=26

Is that added distance for #35 or #25 chain?

Any resources out there of how to calculate it?

We did it by testing it on actual #25 chain. The same process from the linked thread could be used on a #35 chain setup.

Paul Copioli has a chain calculator out there that had a 0.018" addition for #25 and 0.012" for #35.
