Chain Material

[ecope]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knows what is the material and hardness of a BMX bicycle chain?

Thanks!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

the best thing to do is that take one part of the cha?n and after that take an x ray analysis after that take hardness measurements. If you want to learn by using metallographic inspection get info about heat treatment. As u can see from the reference site there are several types and components for a bicycle chain.
