Chain pitch and countershaft to rear axle distance can be in mm or inches, the chain length will be returned in the same units.NB. Chains always have an even number of links, bear this in mindwhen looking at the 'Approx. Number of links' figures. If necessary,adjust the 'Countershaft to rear axle dist.' figure until you're happywith the number of links.
