Does anybody know please the names of the componets in a chain and a url where it shows an exploded drawing?

Thanks.

I might have a tech guide from SRAM/Sedis, KMC or Shimano at work, wil check when I go to office later this morning. it'll be for bicycle chain which is slightly different as it doesn't have O rings and the plates are shaped to aid shifting and pins/plates designed to allow a degree of flex to cope with differing chainlne in different gears.

KMC (http://www.kmcchain.com.tw/) manufacture a lot of the after market "branded" chains and you can probably check out the different types of chain on their website.
