so i just put on a new chain in a bit of a rush - obviously i cut it by 1 link short 😆 .....so instead of 53 links ive got 52...so i know it should be ok in most gears - do i basically need to avoid 3rd chainring and the biggest sprockets at the back? i dont tend to use them anyways, usually just use all the gears at the back in 2nd front cog....this should be ok to run right?
🙁
NO, YOU WILL DIE!
🙁 i know its a silly question, surely just avoiding 3rd front ring in general should give me a death free experience?
Should be fine. You shouldnt be using the big-big anyway as horrible chain line but I would probably avoid using next largest on the cassette too. Will cut down on chain slap having it a bit shorter.
cheers andy - at worst on 3rd chainring i use 26th/27th gear for down bank roads - so never stretch it that muc...cheers for confirming my thoughts...
good point about chainslap - never really thought about shortening it abit to alieviate that problem!
