I’ve changed many chains on hard tails but not on a full sus.
I’m going from 3×10 to 1×10 on my Cube fs so wondering if theres any difference in the method used between ht and fs?
Any pointers and advice appreciated.

Drop All the air out the rear shock a bit at a time cycling it through the travel each time to equalise the chambers

Compress the sock so the bike is sat at the bottom of it’s travel, hold it their and measure the chain in the usual way.

This allows for any chain growth moving through the travel.

This is a good article on it that talks about chain growth which is what you need to consider on a full suss.
