What would the general consensus be on the needed clearance for a #40 chain? I have to space the sprocket out on my build off bike since I am running a slightly wider tire. I don't have any issues with any of the up and down areas. It travels over and under the swing arm with an inch either way so that is all good. But what I am not familiar with, is if there is any side movement in the chain. I cant see any reason that it would have any side movement (unless it was worn out maybe...). I am looking for the voice of experience on this. I have 1/8'' clearance between the sidewall and the chain with the sprocket spaced out currently. I can move the sprocket outward maybe another 1/16'' if it is needed but that is about as far as I can take it. I would like to leave it where it is if that is a safe amount of clearance.
Thoughts?????
