Iainc ….. Spot on !
…… And where can I buy one of the firkin’ things!!!

Yes…. Fully aware of that….. But please read again……. Links required is 116 as per original……. But SRAM chains appear to only be in 114 link lengths ……

Question is where I find them!!!
.??

Big & big plus 2 links is 116 which was what was fitted…….. But we’re do I buy a 116 liink SRAM chain….. They don’t seem to exist anywhere?? Although I can find lots of KMC chains in 116 lengths! But I really wanted to stick with original equipment if poss

Well people ……. Here’s the results of the counting!!!!!

Original chain has 57 of the ‘dog bone sized lincs, plus the connecting link making 58 + 58 connecting links = 116

I’ve taken another picture …… At the. Other end of this the lengths start out the same …. The amount of stretch in the worn chain is a little over half a link over the length of the chain, which is what I would have expected it to be around (1%). And you can see …. The original chain is clearly two whole links longer… So what I need is indeed a 116 link chain!!!????????

Surely someone with a 29er can verify that longer is needed?? It’s logical as surely with the wheels being 3″ bigger the chain must be longer ( at least in my simple head! ) but I don’t recall longer chains than 114 being listed on any websites?

Both chains have stamped PC1031 on them. But the original also has B2 as well…. Which the replacement doesn’t?

See pic for the different lengths…… Puzzled!!!!!

I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here.
The reason you are replacing the chain is that the original one has stretched so it should look longer when laid next to the new one.
What need to do is to count the pins in the old chain and make the new one the same amount of pins.

Being honest Mark no I didn’t actually count the links!
But it shouldn’t have stretched that far should it??? I was always under the impression that once stretched more than 0.7% its throw away time… but thats stretched almost 4 whole links worth if the number of links is the same?

When I put the new one on the rear derailleur is angled well forward… just doesn’t look right!

I will count tonight…… Thanks for the input all…. will let you know what counting reveals :-)

Still struggling with this….. ordered a new SRam PC1031 chain which is what Giant list as the one fitted…. but that also is too short!??

Its 114 links on the box…..

pics below illustrate how much too short it is….

with the original and news chains lined up ( ‘folded’ in half…… the split ends lined up….. you can see from the pics how much longer the original is compared to the new chains…

Help! What do I actually need!???

The justice system is pants….

Lets hope natural justice rules in prison!,!!!!

It’s in Windows….I did actually try editing in notepad as you suggested but it reverted back to a high count. I use iTunes Match and also connected an iPod and synced it …. So I wondered if that triggered it back to higher count?

So sad to rad your post mate. I’m sure you did everything. You can’t blame yourself

Thoughts are with you.

What a pointless thread this is!

For 4 years I struggled on my current board to feel really confident at high speed and fast turns….. Last year I was persuaded to move my bindings apart by an inch or so…… It literally revolutionised the feel and stability .

Until I hit an edge at 42 mph on GPS I was going great ! Broken ribs stopped play ! Lol
