Tonight I pulled the chain off my '55 hornet. We tried to clean it with some Brasso cleaner, but this chain is incredibly dirty and is very rusty. Some parts are deteriorating because of the rust. My husband worked on it for awhile, but he thinks we should just buy a new chain since the old one isn't getting any better.
I don't really understand how chain sizing works. What type of chain should I be looking for? I understand I can always remove links, so will any type of chain work for my bike work as long as I adjust the length later? It seems like chains are also measured by the diameter of the opening in each link, but I have no idea how to get an accurate measurement of that with all the rust and dirt in my chain.
Please let me know where I can buy a replacement chain at a decent price and what type of chain you think I should look for. Thanks.
