What size is a normal bicycle chain?

Is it the same as a 35 chain or 40/41 chain?

[brendonv101]

@jonasmyrv Normal bike chain is usually imperial 40# or metric #8 which are the exact same thing. 4/8 = 0.5 8/16= 0.5

Why not just use a simple link remover?

[brendonv101]

its cheaper this way.

@brendonv101 Dude if u buy a vice and a grinder and that flat head screw driver will cost u more then just buying a 20$ link remover

[brendonv101]

@firehype2 True but a grinder can be used for 1000 different things. I use it nearly every day. The vice a use everyday and the flathead screwdriver i also use everyday. A link remover, hrmmm. Once a year? For the time it takes me to go online and order it i could of already taken the link out 10 times.

@240max1 I found this useful.

I also find your (not "you're") attempt at insulting another individual's intellect without using proper grammar just a bit unconvincing...

Your a fucking dumbass

Dumbass.

I reckon its easier to put the link on an upside down socket, and tap the pin out with a pop rivet and hammer, so easy.

Can I grind it with sand paper?
