Wanted: Izumi Model-V Super Toughness Link (1 or 2!)

I recently acquired an Izumi Super Badass chain, went to put said chain on bike only to realise it's too short!

I think I'd only need 2 links for it to be long enough. Does anybody have one of these chains and was left with a couple spare links when you fitted it?!

It's a long shot I know but I thought I'd ask because I really don't want to sell it...

Thanks!

Edit Would going down a size on my cog make up the difference in length? Seems unlikely but I'm not really sure how much it effects chain length... I'm happy with the gear size so I wouldn't want to change it more than one size really but if anybody thinks that would be a solution let me know.

Could be worth a go but I can't see it bridging the gap.... Maybe I'll bring it round this week and see. Thanks brah.

@1000 yeah me too. If I slam the wheel right in the dropouts then one link would probably suffice but I'd rather not roll like that.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
