Chain length on 43t sprocket?

[andy225]

Appreciate advice on whether to fit standard length chain or slightly longer for a 43t rear sprocket, I know the standard will fit with adjusters fully in but heard conflicting info on standard or longer chain. Thanks for any help

If you still have the old chain I would suggest trying the 43t rear sprocket with it first, so you are sure you are happy with that gearing before changing the chain length. Remember also the bigger rear sprocket will make the speedo readings out, so you will need a speedo healer or similar to correct that.

Thanks for the reply Chris, the conflicting advice I've heard is, yes standard 102 link fits but with adjusters fully in, or also been told better to get the 104 link chain so the adjusters are nearer to what it would be with standard 102 chain and 41t sprocket, so would be interested in hearing thoughts on which one to go for

Get a 104 in that case, you can always choo two out of you want but it's harder to add two in.
