Chain Length for 46/19 Sprockets
Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2015 9:50 pm
Hello
It appears that the suggested chain length for 46/19 sprockets is one of 82 links.
However, I'm wondering if I should buy an 81 or 82 link chain for this set-up because I have been running 47/19 gearing with an 82 link chain and it's baggier than a Charlatans fan. It is stretched as the old 47 tooth crownwheel has been wobbling but even taking that into account I'd think a new 82er would be pretty slack on 46/19 gearing. I know I could buy a pull down chain tensioner but I'm happy with the nylon guide I'm using, and there's nowt wrong with it.
Anyone running 46/19, and if so what chain length?
cheers
