NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I have always used the 'chain around the big and big plus 2 links' school of thought on my 'normal' 3*10 setups. Is this still valid for 2*10 or is there a better way?

Zula Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Cant see why that wouldn't work. Thats the angle which would require the most amount of chain length, so it gives you room for error.
Chubba Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yup, recently put my 3*10 chain on and that method worked fine.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Yes, you use the same method for road and mountain bikes. OK don't want to sound stoopid (OK probably about to do that ...) but also for 2*10 MTB drivetrain?
NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Also want to know if a 10sp Ultegra chain is OK for a 10sp MTB setup?
Chubba Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Also want to know if a 10sp Ultegra chain is OK for a 10sp MTB setup?Yes, i'm using a dura-ace 3*10 chain on my MTB.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Thanks Chubba, then it's all go tonight for Tikki to get it's 2*10 upgrade
Zula Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yes, i'm using a dura-ace 3*10 chain on my MTB. Shew didn't realize weight mattered so much to you
AndreZA Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 OK don't want to sound stoopid (OK probably about to do that ...) but also for 2*10 MTB drivetrain? Even for a 2x10 unicycle.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Even for a 2x10 unicycle. OK OK I get it :blush: :blush: :blush:
Chubba Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Shew didn't realize weight mattered so much to you Looking good is NB too, just in case someone looks at my chain! (it came with the full XT groupset)
Zula Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Looking good is NB too, just in case someone looks at my chain! (it came with the full XT groupset) You see, you are learning!
NotSoBigBen Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 Saw this on the Interwebs .... http://www.epicidiot.com/sports/chain_length_calculator.htm#length_calculator Mmmmmm it says 142cm, will compare with the old tried and tested method later. Used the chainstay length of 45cm, 39 front and 36 rear ....
andretraut Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Even for a 2x10 unicycle....and for a 29er.
Pieterg Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 How do I know how long a chain must be.Step by Step ,thankx
