Re: chain length

Just use the three finger rule or you can use a measuring tape which is more acurate.

Re: chain length

first know your stock length then take the diff in the new sprocket and old so if you going up 12 and down 1 then your changin by 13 divide that by 2 and add 1 thats how many links you need to add so add seven or eight links

Re: chain length

or put the sprockets on, run the chain through em, and see where you need to pop out a rivet....assuming you just bought a 130 link and have a chain tool.....:YEAH
