**what do u think ?**

i really need to get a new chain but i was waiting for the big rear sprocket +10 to arrive then i go and buy one then they told me that its gona take a couple of weeks. is it ok to get the chain now and fit it on my stock sprockets then later when i get my sprocket open the chain and add some links and fit it again
is it a bad idea?
will the chain snap or something?
or is it something normal?

I kinda thought once you shortened a chain that was it. You have to grind off a link to shorten it correct? So what would you do, put a second clasp on an extended section?

Re: **what do u think ?**

as long as the chain matches the sprockets you can add links to make it bigger....(ie. 520,525,530)

if you are running a 520 chain match it up wiht 520 sprockets and so on
when you get the bigger sprocket you can just add links to make it fit using a master link
just make sure the links you add match the chain size

cuz the thing is im getting the 120 link chain and im gona take off some links for the stock set then add some links for the +10 its no problem right?
do i need to get some other kind of link or the links that i took off are enough to make the chain longer?

i'd take some off to go to stock gears and then add them back once you get the bigger sprocket
