  1. hey,

    I'm getting my SS up and running but how do i make sure i get the right
    chain length?

    I'm using a spring-loaded mech style tensioner/device as I've got both a 16
    and 18 tooth ring that I'd like to use, swopping them over occassionally.
    Presuambly I don't need to change chains every time a change sprockets while
    using this type of tensioner?
    If not, is the method of using the biggest (or only) chainring and sprocket
    and adding 2 links, an appropriate method? (again, using the tensioner).

    If i'm lucky enough to not need a tensioner with either permutation of
    ring/sprockets that i choose, what is the chain length method then? how much
    slack? (should there ideally be non whatsoever or a little incase\when i
    need to pull up on the handle bars and stomp down on the pedals on those
    uphills?

    thanks
