[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 673337, member: 22283"] The sprockets make no difference as to the length of the chain. A ten pin measurement consists of 11 pins. The first one being number zero, the second number 1. If you measure one pins distance, center-to-center, then you actually have two pins involved in the measurement, right? What you did was measure 9 pins distance to ge the measurment you did. If you take .625 (measure of a new 1 link pin-to-pin distance) x's 9, you have 5.625" WHich is what you apparently have. That would indicate a brand new chain. Make sure you have the chain taught when measuring, and make certain you measure precisely. I like to go from the side of a pin to the same side of the pin I'm measureing to. Remember that in ten links the difference between a new chain and a worn chain is only ~.10-.12" Not a big difference to your tape measure, but a big difference to your sprocket teeth.
