The 532 chain you have a hybrid between a 630 chain and a standard 530 one. With oversize pins, bushings, and rollers, it's designed to have the strength of a big 630 chain (as once common on Japanese superbikes), but to retain the 5/8-inch pitch of 530 chain. The smaller pitch allows a greater toot...
