I know that the stock chain has 104 links on 15/39 gearing. But now that I have a quick release rear sprocket I’d like to potentially go up a tooth or two on the rear, and not change the chain. The consensus is +2 links for 15/41, so my question is if +2 is too long for the stock gearing after the chain slightly stretches.
When taking off the stock chain I did notice where the concentric hub was located (one day I’m gonna take pictures of stuff before I move or remove them) but it appeared to be near the bottom of the rotation.
I know I’m chaining the ride height and axle length, which is going to be a struggle to get to back to where it should be. But for now I will deal with that. I guess I could ziptie the new chain together and adjust the length, check the axle length, then remove and see how much more chain length I’ve got. Then take the old chain and calculate the % of elongation, cut that in half, and if that number is less than the amount of free travel, I should be okay? Idk. If someone know the answer you’d save me some math work. Lol
