Re: Chain question
measure the gap and measure a link and divide the two then add that number to the number of links you have now and that will give you the new length

Try your stock chain and see how close it is. You might be fine. I have a 12 and a 48 and stock chain length with the adjusters about half way out.

Re: Chain question
Sorry the gap between the ends of the chain you have now with it on the sprockets and the adjuster set forward

Re: Chain question
cant go wrong with a 120 and just cut it to length
I take it this is a new set of sprockets with a gearing you never tried before?
otherwise you would just count the links on the chain that is on there no right ;)

Or you can get a 130 or so and an extra master link and make your wife a nice bracelet with the extra chain.
