I just replaced the chain on my gravel bike (GRX). Bought a 116 link chain and planned to lose a couple of links based on an online calculator.
Nah. The GRX pulley is long enough to necessitate every single link. No cutting required.
Just sharing that as a warning.

It might be long enough but you should still size the chain correctly and cut to size so the chain isn't too long, so shortest it can be in big/big ring plus 1 full link, or 2 links if it's 1x (and 1 more if full sus, which it's obviously not).

So, I might be able to get away with a 116? Or does that not factor in jockey wheels etc
