Whats a more accurate way to get chain length correct?
When I built my bike up I used the Parktool Video below, good result in terms of feel and function on a brand new drive train.
Just replaced the chain and had used the calculator out of curiosity and its gave me a slightly shorter length which I decided to use. First ride felt a bit shit, a bit noisy, shifting normally. Could be chain settling on slightly worn drivetrain?
