I just installed new front and rear sprockets: 16, 37.
I accidentally bought a 530 x 102 chain, so it was obviously too long since 530 x 100 is stock.
I removed one outer and one inner link, so the chain should now be 100 links, but when I put the chain on it still appears to be slightly long. The photo shows the chain adjuster nearly maxed out just to get the correct free play in the chain and will leave little room for future adjustment.
Is this normal or should I remove another pair of links? I am not sure if removing another pair will be too much. If I take too much off I will need to order a new chain.
