I'm wanting to fit a 9sp xt cassette 11-34 which will run with an SLX rear derailleur, XT front derailleur and an SLX crankset. I'm looking at using a Sram PC991 chain. What's the best method for deciding the correct length? It comes with 114 links.

    same way as normal. around the two big cogs and add 1 full link. as per the info that comes with the chain.

    if a fully any chain grow should also be considered by removing shock and cycle the suspension through its travel.
