Sorry to add yet another topic on this one, but I cant find the answer to this one anywhere. I've split the chain at what seemed like the right length, refitted it, and it looks reasonable, but when I pull the wheel as far back in the drop outs as poss the chain doesn't become so tight that it binds (I read in Sheldon that to be sure to get the right tension it's best to get it too tight, then loosen off slightly). I could take another link of the chain out, but I don't want it to be too short because putting links back in is tricky I seem to remember. Could I get away with taking another link out, or should I keep it as it is?
