mattd860 162 #1 Posted February 8, 2011 I want to order some roller chain for the front wheels but need a little advice. I see many users here are using #40 chain but I would like to use #60 since I usually live by the motto "more is better". Any problem with #60? I also want to know if I should use riveted or cottered (pin) chain? I like the idea of the cottered chain because every link is easily adjustable. Is riveted chain just as adjustable by popping the rivets out AND back in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoser63 28 #2 Posted February 8, 2011 i used #60 chain...it digs in very good on ice and snow...but it is hard on the tie rods..ended up breaking one....good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #3 Posted February 9, 2011 :thumbs: I use #50 chain and like it alot!! digs in good and works awsome. I had some already for another project and it is rivited, deflate the tire and put it in tight, then air up the tire. you will love the difference. I don't see any problem with useing #60 I will post some pics. I used master links but you can use the stock links and hammer the ends back if you want. Good luck!! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #4 Posted February 9, 2011 i find that 40 digs in really good,60 works but i htink it will take a long time to wear out 40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorse656 20 #5 Posted February 15, 2011 sounds like it really works good. but how badly does it tear up asphalt and concreet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COMMANDO1 23 #6 Posted February 15, 2011 I think im going to use those next winter, but i am going to put on two rows each tire. think it will work alot better. Let me know if anyone has tried 2 rows on each side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmessenger 0 #7 Posted February 16, 2011 Is bicycle chain heavy enough ? Have a lot of the stuff around might be worth a try regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #8 Posted February 16, 2011 If you have it, all it will cost is time to see, but I'm sure it will work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmix 34 #9 Posted February 16, 2011 :thumbs: One chain per tire is great I use 40# around the center but had to weld the master the clip was comming off. Not anymore works great t mix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #10 Posted February 16, 2011 bicycle chain works the best for grip on ice but it rolls over and deforms,i tried it,then used 60,it was too big and i found doesnt bite as well as 40,plus my thrower uses 40 so i buy extra master links Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
