calc_chain: Calculate chain links and chain length

In jannes-m/velo: An R package for bicycle-related calculations

Calculate chain links and chain length

Description

Calculate the recommended number of chain links and the chain length in cm.

Usage

calc_chain(cs = NULL, chainring = NULL, sprocket = NULL, idler = 10)

Arguments

cs	Length of the chain stay in mm.
chainring	Number of teeth of the high gear chainring.
sprocket	Number of teeth of the high gear sprocket.
idler	Number of teeth of the idler roller, i.e. 10 or 11 (default: 10).

Details

The number of links have to be even so that you can connect both ends of the chain. That means if the formula yields an odd number of links, the function autommatically adds one additional link.
