what kinda chain do you put on a Pugsley? with the larger wheel/tire the extra rotational load would seem to shorten the life of a chain. seems like a good case for a 1/2" chain. or maybe a tractor chain?
I'm with William, 2k and change out the chain. It's the cheapest part of the drivetrain and easist to change. ~Mike~ On Aug 30, 8:34 am, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > You answered my second question already -- dumb, dumb-dumb-dumb, DUMB! > > > > > > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 9:33 AM, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 8:29 AM, William <[email protected]> wrote: > >> 1/2" per foot.
