How many links to have in my chain?

russboy

Hi all,

Replaced my cassette & gone to 11-25 with the chain rings being 50/34t, is there a set rule on how many links I should have the In the chain?

If it makes any difference the bike its on is a 2013 Fuji Gran Fondo 2.1

Thanks,

Russ

No - but use the Park tool guide

I use the largest cog/largest chainring method.

"Big to big plus 2"

But... two what?! Links (2 inches) or half links (1 inch)?

I think it means two half links aka one link aka one inch.

This is based on the parktools equation:

I discovered earlier this year it's meant to be plus 2 half links. So both my chains are likely an inch too long...
