Chain Size

#1854939 - 11/05/2008 21:52

Ok all you knowledgeable people, if a chain is described as 8mm for e.g., what does that 8mm describe, what chain link dimension is used to determine the size of chain? I know I should know, but shamefully I don't!

Cheers, Brian.

It is the diameter of the rod from which the chain is made.
