Chain Length


Balooba

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I bought myself a 11/46T Sunrace cassette (new) to be fitted on a Momsen Vipa.

 

Currently have the XT 11/40 cassette on. Bought the bike secondhand so not sure on the km's on it. 

 

Derailleur - XT 8000 - long cage

Chainring - Oval 32t

 

What chain length should I purchase ,without killing the bank, that will fit my chainring/derailleur setup? 

 

KMC or Shimano for the Sunrace cassette?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to know the chain stay length as well to calculate required chain length.

Given the rate of expansion in teeth in cassettes, I need to use the calculator in reverse - 2 is my cassette teeth and 3 my chain ring teeth
