Effects on Chain Geometry: Calculate Total chain length based on number of links and pitch
Based on the number of links and the entered Chain pitch, the theoretical chain length can be calculated and is shown in table "Chain geometry changes due to sprocket & chain changes". This information is not of much use except that is is used to calculate the necessary sprocket distance later on.
Remark: This shown length does not change (except when manually changing pitch or number of links) when changing sprockets ! It is assumed that you keep your current chain. This length is used to calculate the needed sprocket distance (that DOES change when changing sprockets).
Next: Calculate sprocket distance based on total chain length and sprocket combination
