Cwc Heavy Duty 1/2" Pitch?

[fordmike65]

Picked up this '41 Roadmaster recently from a fellow Cabe member specifically for the Coaster's CWC. While putting it back together(the night before the ride of course), I found that I had misplaced the chain. Unfortunately it was 1/2" pitch, so I'd have to borrow a chain off my Monark or SamSco since I didn't have any spare 1/2" chain. Well, it turns out it uses a 3/16" wide 1/2" pitch chain. I've heard that Columbia used this on some bikes, but never CWC. Anyone else ever seen this or have any info on it? Thanks,Mike

Yep,this was on a ND wheel set I swapped out drivers with a skip tooth on.

PM sent. I'll take that driver if available. Looks like mine was swapped out at one time.

Well, thanks to Rollfaster I have the correct hub driver on the way. Anyone else have any info,seen other heavy duty 1/2" chain equipped CWC bikes or possibly have a catalog pic or ad?

Yeah right...

Anyone else have any info or other similarly equipped bikes in their collection?

I don't know where you keep your Depends, but that's probably where you'll find your missing chain.

I have a 41 CWC with the same heavy duty chainring and chain. It's a motorcycle chain.

Nice! Any pics? Info? Wondering if it was advertised as a heavy service bicycle? Looks like standard hubs & spokes tho.
