1 x 10 chain tension

Hi guys

 

Please could someone with a 1 x 10 setup, 32T chainring, and 11/40 cassette, post pics of the der in high and low positions?

Just converted, and want to make sure I'm right on the chain length.

 

Shot!

Sorry no pics, but as per the manual. Pass chain around the front sprocket and around the big gear at the back. Bypass the rear derailleur. Where the chain meets add two links. You should be good to go

Thanks all.

 

Had seen about the big ring/sprocket plus 2 links, but thought that would make the chain super tight in low. But in high, the chain and jockey wheel are clearing the der nicely, and in low, the der is not too far forward, Crappy weather today, hope for a test ride tomorrow.

 

Thanks

If it is a full suspension you might need an extra link to cater for chain growth as the rear triangle moves up.
