Does anyone know the number of links that comes new on Spicy 316s? Its running SLX parts. Used to run lovely, but I replaced the chain a little while ago with a SRAM one but on gnarly downhill bits it does tend to come off - not sure if I can afford to lose a couple more links.....shifting is quite slow so Im tempted to just go for it.

Thanks!

    to check, put the chain around the biggest chainring and sprocket without running through the mech, then add 2 links to get the correct chain length

    If the bike is a fully check that the chain died not stop the travel form reaching full movment or you could be ripping rear mechs off.
