How many links does my bike need?
Typically 116 links is more than enough to cover the gambit of all gearing combinations. However, there may be rare instances of extra large bike with touring configurations, long cage rear derailleurs and extra large rear cassettes (more than 35 teeth).
For conventional bikes with a 52 tooth large front ring and a 28 tooth large cassette, a ball park calculation for small to large bikes are as follows:
- Large frame: 110 links
- Medium frame: 106 links
- Small frame: 104 links
As a quick reference to calculate your chain size, id recommend https://www.bergfreunde.eu/chain-length-calculator/
Otherwise, the best way to size a chain is to actually install one and size it during the installation.
Need extra links? If I have more available, I’d be happy to add a few extra to help you complete your project.
