Whats the most common roller chain norm for bicycles?

AI Thread Summary
The most common roller chain norm for bicycles is a pitch of one half inch (1/2"), although the width can vary for different applications. While gearing ratios can differ widely, the standardization of chain pitch simplifies design processes. The discussion highlights the importance of knowing the specific ISO/ANSI norms for accurate sprocket design in Autodesk Inventor. After some experimentation, a suitable norm was identified for the project. Understanding these standards is crucial for creating functional bicycle components.

I am designing a bike in Autodesk Inventor for a university project, and I am stuck with the sprockets. Inventor can create them fairly easily when you know the norm of the sprocket and the number of teeth it has, but I don't know the standard of the sprocket I have to design; I merely know that its about the same proportion of the rest of the sprockets I have ever seen in bikes, so which is the most common norm?

Well I was talking about the actual ISO / ANSI norm used in the design process, the pitch diameter I was able to measure and the radius too (I only need one sprocket). Anyway, thanks for your contribution, after tinkering for a while I found a norm that seemed bicycle worthy enough.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
