| Here is one way | Kel
Apr 4, 2002 1:37 PM | | There is a couple of different ways but here is a common and easy one that I've used and it works. Wrap your new chain around your big ring in the front and your big cog in the rear (big front, big rear). 'Don't' pass your chain through your rear deraileur. Now find the point where one end overlaps and meets at the other end. At this point add two full links and this is how long it should be. Now remember that 1 link is an outside and inside pair. So 2 links are four little sections. Hope this helps. |
