It will bolt right in fine. The link size on a double roller is smaller than a single roller.

I was told they are anti stretch. "Extra bar links chain" would have been a better but less sales friendly name. The rollers are narrower to make up for the links. It in not a worry if you get the matched set with gears. Now the oem synthetic gears always made me wonder.
