Hi people
I have always fitted my new chain by wrapping the chain around the largest front & rear ring, cut the chain to size and then fit through the derailleur. I always get a lot of chain clatter and I feel the chain is too long, I mean I would never be at the opposite extremes of each gear range.
How do you people choose the correct chain length, could I get away with measuring the middle chain ring to largest cassette (32 + 32) and would this allow me to still use the largest chain ring and the smallest rings (44 + 11/12,13) as the number of teeth is still fewer.
Cheers
