Chain length

[jfagan]

Okay, question is this.

What are the risks/problems with running a chain 1 link too short? I currently have a pinned chain but want to remove one so it allows a quick link. Makes it easier to clean and maintain.

What adjustments would i have to make e.g. b-tension screw? Or will it all work fine with no problems??

Thanks

You just remove the outer plates, which is no more difficult (in fact easier as nothing to rejoin after wards) than removing a whole link of inner and outer plates. Then your chain remains the same length.

as Meic says the quicklink replaces a half-link with outer side plates on it.



the chain is exactly the same length as before once the quicklink is installed.
