double roller chain?
« on: April 07, 2023, 05:46:45 pm »
 RC jr. Was on facebook looking for a source of double chain. It seems to be out of production these days. I offered my old one for display but it's too short and obviously not up to snuff for a twin or triple.
 I was surprised when I measured mine it's more like a 520 than 530. About 1/4" between the plates, the 530 is closer to 3/8", does anyone have old stock or a source?
 My rear sprocket is apparently magnesuim, it's pretty eaten up from corrosion or I might try to install it on something.

Duplex chains made for industrial use too.
Here motorcycle  chain 530-126.

A modern chain as duplex version would be strong.
