Inner plates have grooves for holding the Rollers in place.

Pins Hold the Chain Together. (The Pin Never Touches the Roller).

Wear is between Rollers and Inner Plates.

If you Lube your Chain "Every Ride" or Every 30Km . Your Chain will Last Very Long.

 

Thank you. This is exactly my point. So in truth, there probably only needs to be lubrication between the roller and the shoulder in the side plate. But I guess the space between the roller and the pin may act as a kind of lubrication reservoir. Not sure.

Boet, you need to sort your sleep patterns out. How on earth does one come up with these ideas at 4 in the morning 🤔

And if it was only just chains. You have no idea of the things that roll around in my head at 1 AM and 2 AM in the morning. And then I get up at 4 AM and commit one or two of them to writing as I did here. 🙂

at least you commit them to writing. I have these things rolling around in my head in the middle of the night, think to myself I will remember them, then in the morning I know I'm supposed to remember something but dont know what.
