Chain length advice

scott_b

Looking for a bit of advice on chain length. My bike had a compact and an 11-28 on it. I have gone to a standard double 53/39 and an 11-25 on the back. Can anyone tell whether then chain on at present is too short or whether I need to swap it for a new one and add a couple of links.

Thanks

Scott

You've gone up 3 on the front and down 3 on the back - chain length stays the same.

Pictures show that the chain is too short?

I thought it was a bit too stretched, seems to run fine though but thought I'd check. I'll get the new chain out.

Thanks
