replacement timing chain on tandem

Need to replace timing chain on '03 Santana Arriva Ultegra bike and
would prefer to do this w/sram chain. Just use 2 power links?

Yeah, that'll be about right.

Correct. 1.5 chains and two snap links

For what it's worth, 1/8" BMX chain is loads cheaper and lasts
longer. Same joining issue though, so use two master links.

Personally, I'd use a cheap (bushed) 3/32" and a rivet setter.

That sort of chain is basically the same stuff as 1/8" chain, only
narrower.

It's hard to know these days which chains come with pins that are
flared enough to damage side plates when pressed out, and which
don't. So I default to using some kind of master link rather than
risk riding with compromised side plates in a chain.

Do your customers and yourself a favour and get your chain in 100'
lengths. Industrial chain does the job, at least for 1/8" Packing
basic drive chain into dainty coloured boxes must be the most
worthless packaging invented. You can set the rivets on this stuff
with a hammer and punch, a lump of soft wood is also handy.

red stupid nose in the way.
