just about to pop the chain on my new build (voodoo wanga) ie with sliding dropouts:

bearing in mind i may well swap the 16T rear for an 18/20T at some point how should i set up the length of my chain?

set the dropouts to the middle and hope for the best
cheers

ive got mine with two split links next to each other and i run in full for 20t on the back and drop off one of the splits and the half link when i drop it to 18t and it fits spot on. i like the 20t on the 29er in the mud ๐Ÿ˜‰

thanks for taking the time to reply mick, put in the extra powerlink and left it on 18t for the min...can always shorten a chain, making it longer is a bugger ๐Ÿ˜†
cheers buddy
