If like me, you have a longstay Rivendell and have some minor inconveniences with the luxurious ride it provides, I have good news! Most of the Shimano 11 speed chains (which shift great on 9 and 10 speed drivetrains, and last longer than the 9 and 10 speed chains) can now be bought at 126 links long, which means no more cobbling together a normal 114 link plus 10+/- links from another chain. Maybe folks were already aware, but maybe not.
For reference, my 51 cm Joe Appaloosa with 52 cm chainstays running a 42/24 chainrings and 11-34 cassette requires 124 links. I'll likely pickup a microshoft sword 10 speed 11-38 to go along with a new chain Search for: shimano 11 speed chain - Performance Bicycle (performancebike.com) <https://www.performancebike.com/search?s=shimano+11+speed+chain> Happy Riding, Collin, no longer splicing chains at least, in Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
