Its big to big plus 1.5 links rather than 2. On a hardtail so i thought it would be ok, but it does look a little on the short side.

no you won't die but your mech might. Either that or you will weaken the spring so in lower gears it will not be as tight.

How do you add 1.5 links to a chain instead of 2?

No, your chain is too short.

So this would be a step too far, then...?
