No thats fine there is some debate about even numbers of teeth in drives
but mostly smoke and mirrors. Polygonal is a totally different aspect of
a chain drive basically forcing straight lines round a bend. Renold once made
a 3 tooth sprocket and the chain was stopping and starting with a constant
motor speed.

Going back to the subject it is stange that belts are given such high regard.
In the last month I have done 3 chains for folks changing Harleys back to chain from
belts........main reason belt change apparently £680 and chain change £55.
Every show I get stories about belts loosing teeth and various other horror stories.
