    I’m considering switching my round 32t chain ring to an oval 36 the one… will I get away with using the same chain?

    My existing (32t) setup has done less than 50 miles, so chain stretch isn’t a factor to worry about…

    Depends how short you made the chain

    oval to round makes no difference, 32 to 36 makes a difference

    You don’t have any spare chain links anywhere?
    I’m only a few links short of making a free bonus chain from all the spare bits i’ve kept when installing chains.

    If you sized the chain correctly for the 32t it will be too short for a 36t ring.

    Yeah… it was sized correctly… bah!
