it's almost time for a new chain and sprockets.
i'm thinking of moving to a 520 chain. and also changing the gearing.
if I go to a 15t front and 43t rear. how many links would the chain need to have. iirc std is 102.
does anyone know the answer or a link to a site that will help me calculate the correct amount of links needed.
thanxs in advance....
tbh I have tonnes of fun and often reach 120's, but it's rare I go above the 130's, so losing the top end shouldn't be a big issue hahaha, so still 102 links...

Should be no wider than the diameter of a cricket ball, though I have seen a ball pass through a set of stumps before! Or the other classic was when we played on a pitch 21 yards long rather than the customary 22 - the bowlers were perplexed till we paced it out
on that cricketing note even Wickys like their bling...
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
A chain (ch) is a unit of length. It measures 66 feet, or 22 yards, or 100 links, or 4 rods (20.1168 m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong).
Same as the length of a cricket pitch.
How's that for arcania?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
