    Gone from a single (out the box bike) 36 chain ring to a 32, on a standard 11/36 cassette, how many links should I remove? Rear mech is folded flat when in 10th. Thanks

    If it was good before, then one link (one fat bit + one thin bit) – 2 teeth’s worth of chain to correspond to the 2 fewer teeth the chain has to go round.

    Would it not be 4 fewer teeth as I’ve gone from 36 to 32 up front?

    Chain only uses half the teeth at any one time

    Just size it up on the usual manner. There isn’t a set rule for chain length/chainring size.
