You could quickly check if your chain length (# of links) is correct by
using this formula:
# links = 2 * {(2*ChainStay Length (inches)) + 1/4*(# ChainRing Teeth + #
Largest Cog) + 1}
You can measure the chainstay length or if your frame is a RBW, look it up
in the geo charts. Older RBW's tend to have 44 to 45 cm stays (17.3 to
17.7 inches). Since you have a 1 x drive train, you dont have to worry
about which ring to use.
If your actual # links is much greater than this value, your chain may have
too much slack.
