So who's right?! Who do I believe in?! You say don't go by length but count how many! Simon says lay two of them and cut! So are chains different lengths in links since you say to count? He says something you say something else. Who's the fuck right?! Delete the wrong one!

I'm new to this new bike stuff., I've been going through your guys videos and to get some help but `i have realized that you guys don't do much mountain bike stuff. well I have a Cannondale Delta v 1000 and its missing a few parts; like the chain, all 4 breaks , handle bar, and the seat. Can you guys give me any advice on what i should buy? i dont have much money to buy expensive stuff so that might be pretty hard I'm guessing.

Method one, setting up a new bike, do it without the derailers on
-
IS THIS APPLICABLE TO MTB ? my gear ratio is 3x10. what method will work great ?
-
So how do you consider a longer-cage rear derailleur, such as a GS length derailleur, with the 'mathematical' method and also your big-wheel-big-wheel method? Thanks.
-
Very informative and awesome video. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and techniques to the world.
-
Does any of these three method could be use with a MTB and "1 x 10 or 1 x 11 setups" to get optimal chain length ?I'm running a 1 x 10 hardtail fatbike, (10 - 42 at the back and 30 tooth oval chainring at the front) and I think the second method will be spot on, but what your thoughts ?Cheers
-
I would always go with method 2, method 1 doesn't account for cage length.
-
curiously, while Daniel shows putting the chain on the big chainwheel and big cog, stretch it tight and back off one, the video he points to shows Simon pulling the chain tight and backing off two links. Way to be consistent, guys.
-
FOR TRIPLE CRANKSET USERS: If you are like me and are measuring the chain using the chainring/cassette method for a TRIPLE CRANKSET, then the little/little method is more accurate. This is because you can see and make sure that the rear derailleur is stretched far enough to keep the chain from rubbing. You can still use the big/big method, however instead of adding two links only add ONE link. The reason being is because the difference from the biggest to the smallest chainring on a triple is larger vs. a double chainring.
-
I just wanted to check if I had already set my chain at the right length. so. I tried method 1 and my chain was bang on.... I tried method 3 and my chain was bang on again. then I tried method 2 and I would need extra chain links added in.
so does the fact I have a long rear derailleur make the difference. -
could you do a video about replacing boa dials and wires on shoes
-
You should do a video about bidons. Your methods of cleaning, your favourite type of mouth piece, "expire dates", etc. I've been a rider for more than 5 years and I still don't know when it is time to change the bidon for a new one :D
-
Does these methods work for oval chainrings like rotor and osymetric?
-
Method 2 is best all-around, although it sacrifices some shifting crispness...which is why the Shimano method works on cage angle to give the best performance.
-
GCN get it together! Start using the metric system, I am an American and even I don't use it! I thought you guys were bike racers......SMH ;)
-
i love that bike so much
-
Thanks, this is going to come handy next weekend when I'll be swapping my big chainring for 50t down from 52t!

I could comment on these but I would be Yanking Your Chain
