  Chain Maintenance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Chain durability is affected by riding style, gear choice, whether the bicycle is ridden in rain or snow, type of soil in the local terrain, type of lubricant, lubrication techniques, and the sizes and condition of the bicycle's sprockets.
The rivets that hold the chain together run through the middle of the bushings, and the rollers roll around the outside of the bushings, so both the inside and the outside surfaces of the bushings are subject to wear.
The major cause of chain "stretch" is wearing away of the metal where the rivet rotates inside of the bushing (or the "bushing" part of the inside plate) as the chain links flex and straighten as the chain goes onto and off of the sprockets.

 How to Make a Gunter's Chain
Some chains, but by no means the majority, also had a swivel link somewhere near the center in place of one of the regular links.
For a chain with two rings between each link, the correct length is 7.42 inches (7.92 minus the inner diameter of half of the rings between the links).
Therefore, make sure that when verifying the chain length the tension is the same as that which will be used in the field.

Chain movements are correlated to the previous arrangements as the movements are effected by interactions between chains.
The chain bond length is equal to the length of the monomer.
The number of chain units is then analogous to the number of jumps the particle has undergone and the bond length is analogous to the length of each jump.

 Cornell News: Food chain length
Length of food chain on way to big fish depends on size of pond, not on energy available, new study concludes
But the systematic accounting of food-chain links and lengths also serves as a warning: The so-called top predators -- such as eagles, falcons and most of the fish that anglers catch to eat -- are more likely to accumulate high concentrations of mercury, PCBs and other contaminants when they live in large ecosystems.
Because the researchers couldn't hold their breath long enough to follow food chains from the bottom to the top and count the mouths along the way, they essentially counted backward from the top.

 Yachting and Boating World: Anchor Chain length
For safe anchoring with chain, the wind force should be no larger than the force required to lift the last links of the chain off the bottom at the anchor.
For an all-chain rode, Formula 3 states that the length of chain required for safe anchoring is proportional to the wind speed.Typically one will need a length of chain at least equal to this.
But if too little chain is deployed snatching is bound to occur, since the chain will straighten beyond the borderline state: it will lift from the bottom at the anchor, and it will not be able to absorb the energy of the surging yacht.

 Technical Program Paper Detail - AIChE
, which describes the resistance to motion felt by a subunit of the polymer chain, is dependent on the chain length for short chain lengths.
Preliminary results from studies of oligomer polystyrene diffusion indicate that the polymer concentration dependence diffusion is strongly dependent upon the length of the polystyrene chain for chains length less than 20 units.
As the polymer chain length increases, this chain length dependence of the polymer concentration dependence of diffusion disappears for chains with more than 100 to 200 units.

However, whoever makes the chain, the length of the same link nubers is the same.
So, the length of the 116 links must be the same on all (same type - narrow) chains, Shimano, Sachs, KMC, etc > Also, is there a rule of thumb on how to tell if you have enough or too > much chain.
Only in this case, since most of them have only two chainrings in front, the pulleys on the rear deraileur should be in "the position" when the chain is in the lowest-low or highest-high gear.

 3. MEASURING DISTANCES
To measure distances in a field (for example the length and width of a field), a chain or a measuring tape is used.
Two men are required, the back man, holding the zero point of the chain (or the tape), and the front man, holding the other end of the chain.
Very often, the distance to be measured is longer than the length of the chain 01 the tape.

 Chain Length - Ridemonkey.com - mountain biking community
You don't need any more chain than this, if you have extra and your rear derailleur is pointing straight back in the other no-no cross-chained small-small, you are going to bounce your chain off more easily, especially rough techy stuff, hard impacts and in the mud.
I also happen to notice that chain length usually doesn't change if swapping a long for short cage derailleur if you still want the possibility of being able to run it through all gears (big-big with a tight chain).
Another trick is put your mech in the middle of yo cluster and in da middle ring up front (if 1 ring then omit this step) then shorten chain to point where if you drew a line throught the derailleur pulley axles it would be perpendicular to the ground (assuming bike is level of course).

 Replacing Your Chain -- Bicycle Chain Length
The bicycle chain is an often overlooked part of the bicycle.
It is a good idea that you check the length of the chain before you connect the new chain.
If the chain is too short you will damage the rear if you shift into the big front/rear combination of gears.

 Discrete Donut Twisted Chain  "ddtc" --- Origin of Gravity
At least for the electron, the twist in the donut chain is compensated for by the donut adopting a different ratio of main angular revolving speed(around the donut center) to secondary rotation speed (around the donut edge) in an attempt to realign the angle of contact with adjacent donuts to zero.
A triangle with a chain segment for each side seems to be a likely candidate for a stable particle such as a proton.
In discrete donut twisted chain theory (ddtc) the quark is simply the connection between three donut chain segments, the minimum number of segments needed in order to have separate segments.

VENUS, a molecular dynamics code used for normal modes calculations, revealed three distinct low energy modes, with polarization components normal to the surface, which were common for all chain lengths; an up-down motion, a scissor, and a bowing motion.
The calculated energies of the three low-energy modes as a function of the chain length are compared to the experimental energies in Figure 2.
For each additional methyl group added to the chain the force constant, k, and mass, m, will increase in proportion keeping the excitation energy, E, constant, with a small perturbation due to the effective mass of the sulfur head group.

 Diamond Chain Company -> Product Support -> Technical FAQs
ANSWER: Riveted chain is constructed using pins that extend through the plate on each side a small amount and are then "riveted", or sidemashed, on their ends to add some additional strength to the hold between the pin and plate.
Cottered chain is constructed using pins that extended through one plate a small amount and are sidemashed and the second side a further distance, with a cross drilled hole, for inserting a cotter pin.
In these cases it is critical to have the chains ordered as a set, matched for length and installed on the machinery with the same relationship to one another as when they were matched.

 Chain Length? - 'BentRider Online Forums
The problem that I now have is when the crank is on either the middle or large chain ring and the rear cassette is on the smallest chain ring, I get a skip in the chain every 10 to 20 revolutions of the crank.
Turn crank slowly until the chain skips or jumps, then note postion of chain when it skips and turn crank backwards until you get to that section of chain.
Once you have pushed the pin back in you then move the chain 'out' one notch on the chain cutter and push the pin so that it is flush with the side plates on both sides.

 Figuring out proper chain length - 'BentRider Online Forums
Frankly, since most deraileurs work that way, I use the small chain ring and the smallest gear at the rear end for setting a chain to length.
So trim your chain so that the rear deraileur cogs are as relaxed as they can be without the chain rubbing itself over the forward cog on the rear deraileur.
Bikes with long chain runs like LWBs may not have enough derailleur cage length to handle all the excess chain in the 'Small-Small' combo Bikes with idlers only have to worry about chain flex from the gear to the idler.

I then run the chain through the derailleur and hold the two ends together with a bent spoke (bent into a u-shape) and put it into big/big again.
If the chain is too long, the chain will drag around the bottom jockey pully and accross the upper pulley.
Ideally, you want the chain to be long enough to accommodate a shift into the 53/25 cross (which you solemnly swear never to use) safely and smoothly, but short enough not to sag severely in the 39/12 cross (which of course you also solemnly swear never to use).

 Chemistry Investigation - How does chain length affect: ∆Hcè for alcohols?
In relation to my hypotheses, it seems that my prediction of the non-linear relationship was satisfied by all of my results, due to the increasing negativity of enthalpy with chain length.
As the Carbon chain length in alcohols (and thus the molecular mass) increases, the enthalpy change becomes of a greater negativity.
It is also feasible to draw from my graphs; the fact that the experimental plot is more appropriated to a curve of best fit, whereas the theoretical enthalpies was better suited by a line, that there is a far greater potential for anomalies during the imperfect experimental procedure.

There is a simple way to get chain length, start by putting your gearing in "small small" and look to see if the derailleur cage is backing into the actual derailleur becuase of the spring, I usually start by removing two links.
It has the same drawback too in that if your derailleur doesn't have adequate slack take up, your chain is going to go slack in the little/little combination.
