You could resize it. It won't be huge difference, but wrap the chain through the front mech, around the big ring, around the biggest cog and NOT through the rear mech. Then add 2 links. That's the ideal chain length. Remember to take account of suspension movement though, ie, do it when the chain is at it's longest point in the suspension travel.

If it is correct at the mo then remove a link. Easy if you have a master link. Cassette might not mesh with old chain though.

Surely someone will sell it, use your OCD to find it?

Awesome. You do know the correct way to size a chain is to remove one and a half links.





Now just wait for the meltdown.
