Let me first say that I reversed the order of the description
(i.e. chain link -> link chain) to make sure they sorted correctly.
When it comes to your question, it's an interesting idea, but I'm not
sure I like it too much. The length of a link isn't 1 unit, it is 26
LDU, while the length between two connected links is 16 LDU. And the
width isn't 2.5 units, it is 52 LDU, which matches the interior of a 1x3
plate.
Besides, the name "1x2.5" makes me think the part is some kind of brick,
which interacts with other bricks, but that may just be me.
On the other hand, if there will be a new tread link, it will be nice to
have a better and more specific name for the old one. And 1x2.5 is
probably close enough.
I'm ranting here. What do you people think?
