Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

FWIW, bicycle chains are standardized around imperial (inch) standards, not metric. All derailleur chains have 1/2" pitch, and until you get to 10s chains, 3/32" nominal width, based on the sprockets they fit.

So, it's easier to work in inches, whereally, for example, the length in inches is equal to the the numple of full links (inner plus outer).
