Gear Cog, derailleur jockey wheel or sprocket radius is measured from the centre of the sprocket to the centre of a chain pin or rivet. Below is a table of radius values in inches for different cog sizes for the standard 1/2 inch pitch chain used with bicycles. The Machinehead chain length calculator does all this stuff internally so you don't have to!
