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.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
