Ariel hub sprocket size

[gavinoz]

Hi all, I can't find it in searches (Probably dumb). What is the correct size final drive chain for the Ariel hub sprocket?
Lyford Classic has it at 5/8 x 1/4, draganfly has it at 5/8 x 3/8.
I wish to start with new sprockets, as both gearbox and rear wheel ones are worn on the rebuild.
Can any Ariel hubbers help?
Cheers from Gav.

It's 3/8 wide as standard I reckon, I've heard one can convert to a 1/4 wide O ring chain though. I think that's the same as all the other A10 years.

I guess your (new) chain size will be determined by what sprockets you can get, when the time comes for replacing mine I would not be surprised if the best option would be to weld a new sprocket ring onto the old sprocket.

G'day Gav.
5/8 x 3/8 = 530 chain. The rear sprockets are getting thin on the ground. I did sort of what Kiwi suggested, I turned off the sprocket and machines an alloy blank to fit then scotch keyed it together.

Thanks KiwiGF & Muskrat,
Will buy a new one from India. Pricey, but have not got facilities or skills like Muskrat!!

G'day Gav.
Be careful with the part # you order. The "Ariel" hub sprocket is different to the 58 on full width iron hub. The one you want is 42-6069. Priorymagnetos only have the 58 on type listed.

Burton Bike bits list that sprocket 42-6069 also Draganfly but they are out of stock at the moment I would go for Burton bike bits rather than order from India.

hi guys, Musky is this the correct sprocket, cheers

G'day Kiwipom. No the bearing is concealed.

Musky, was the photo you added from MAP cycles the one I should be getting? Have gone for the concealed bearing, as in that photo, which was advertised with the incorrect part no. The seller had a vernier in a couple of the photos, and they matched the sprocket I had. Hope its correct! Thanks forn your replies.Gav.

G'day Gav.
Sorry for the confusion. The picture was from British Bike bits. The link to Map was because it was the cheapest I found in a quick 10 minute search.
Cheers
