5/8 x 1/4 and 520 chain are one and the same the first being the imperial measurement while the second is the modern way of recording the dimensions.

first number 5 = 5 x 1/8th's i.e 5/8

Second number 2 = 2 x 1/8th i.e 2/8 = 1/4

Check your sprocket sizes for chain length hopefully you are on 17 front and 36 rear which may require a half link so buy a bit extra and also a half link to start and cut to length.
