Ting Ting Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I was wondering what size chain I need for a 6" swinger with 13 41 gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPEN Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I think a 120 pin(longest most shops carry) would get you close but maybe a couple links shy... I would recomend getting a mesurment (run the chain route with string) and get ahold of Jeff at FAST Racing. He sells it by the foot and that way you can worrie about CUTTING a bit of chain off rather than having to add.. He can be reache don here by pm his name is FASTOYS or phone # 785-364-5325 RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I just looked on my bill...Jeff sent me one for my 6inch over...but it doesn't tell how many links. Gold X Ring chain for 81 bucks... And I had to cut off about 8 or 9 links. Like he said, easier and stronger to take 'em off than add 'em back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just think and I remembered buying a 120 pin when I was geard 13/42 or 43 and thats when I was a couple links shy. You may skate by with a 120 but as I said before its much more simple to measure and order.. RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I would actually leave an extra link in or so...in case you decided to go bigger up front for any reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Does that Gold X ring chain perform good in the sand. I mean the sand doesn't chew it up, because I was told there are a few chains to avoid in the sand........... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I had a gold DID X Ring last year...before my cub motor. Only one day trip to Silver Lake...had no problems. My RK on my cub never got to run the sand...build problems... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I just run string on mine. Forget the chain all together and just use the string you are measuring with. Works WAY better in sand. :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Non-Oring or X Ring chains are better for drag racing...and that's pretty much due to less weight. Although i haven't put much time on my new one...my old one got the piss beat out of it last year, and I gave it to my buddy that bought a bone stock 98...and the stocker was kinked as hell. His 280 lb ass on it...a couple of trips...and it still has barely stretched at all, not even to the point of where I'd adjust it. If you want the best, period...look at Sidewinder. The tensile strength of their chain is almost double the next best. However...you sure as shit pay for it... If I had a ton of loot, that's what I'd have no questions asked!
