does anyone have a bike that has a 45t front and 16t rear sprockets and can tell me how many links are in their chain?
need to know ASAP if anyone does :daumenhoch:
-
would depend on the frame wouldnt it rob? and how far you have the rear wheel into the dropout etc
-
yeah i know but it would be roughly the same if it's on an old school bike
-
mine on the Magnum 45/16 with slammed wheel (center of crank to dropout front)
45 full links and a half link :daumenhoch: gives me about 3mm to get tension on chaintugs
long wheel base on the Magnums though using the crank center to dropout its 14" to 15 1/2 "

Rear end length is 14.5" (centre of crank axle to centre of wheel axle) with the chain nice n tight if that's any help
