Yes, I did....Thanks John...John knows, he's one of the fixed inch crowd! Thanks for pointing out my flub though Ken! I occasionally mix things up. Like I think I mentioned to you...I know the chain fits my campy cogs and my Williams chainrings. Thanks all

Walt-

You meant 3/16" wide, right?

Yesterday there was some brief talk about inch pitch chains. They are hard to find and usually pricey. So here is a tip. I just helped the maintenance guys at work repair a salt throwing machine on one of the trucks using an inch pitch x 3/32 chain obtained from a local lawn tractor business. We stopped in, picked up about 200+ links from a large roll and paid $20 and got a couple master links included. So if you are looking for a quick "fix" block chain for low bucks, take your cogs down and size em up.
