Put the chain back on the sprocket.

I thought you wanted to build your bike like a Board Track bike? I don't see how a double row primary chain as a final drive chain fits into that scheme.
Aren't primary chains running in oil? How does running without oil affect the chain life?
Are you building a static show bike......or something you can put miles on regularly?

Yes, they are but a chain is a chain. Just keep it lubed like a regular mc chain.

An o ring chain is designed to be exposed. Oil bath chain won't survive the same environment as long.
Can oring double chain be found? Maybe. But why go through the addition cost and engineering challenges? A single drive chain has been shown to work fine.

check out the early motorcycles/boardtrackers ... some ran DUAL belts and others ran DUAL chains and a majority just ran a single belt or single chain ...
I was looking to do something different ... trying to avoid the sea of sameness ... in the parking lot ...
