Re: Aluminum chain?

Thats a lot of work to completely switch chain types but if you have to do it, do it. Other options include cutting down the hubs of large steel sprockets, drilling holes in them and that route. I would stay away from plastic roller chain. Chain comes under a lot more force than you would think. i mean hundreds and hundreds of lbs of force. I'd do some calculations before you do anything radical like that. just as a headsup normal steel roller chain has a tensil strength of about 1050 lbs.
