Re: [RBW] Long wheelbase = long chain

[Piaw Na]

You can't do that if you're using 11s or more. Rejoining 11s and up chains 
using a chain breaker is not recommended. My "trick" is to buy 11s chains 
at $10/pop when they go on sale once a year and a bunch of quick links at 
the same time.

Re: [RBW] Long wheelbase = long chain

[Armand Kizirian]

If you have certainty that you won't swap a drivetrain, simply buy two 
chains. The second chain will be enough to populate several chain 
replacements, granted they are of the same chain. No need to use two quick 
links either, if you have a chain breaker and know how to use it.

Count how many links you have now. Call Will & Riv & he will use their bulk chain to send you one the correct length. EZPZ.

[RBW] Long wheelbase = long chain

[Edwin W]

I have a Joe Appa with long chain stays, which necessitates a long chain, 
longer than a single chain.

For all of you out there with a long chain bike, what are your best 
tips/tricks/techniques for purchasing a chain. Where do you go for a long 
chain?

What else do you think about with chain replacement, maintenance, etc...

Lifelong learner, breaking cobbled together chains,

Edwin
