[RBW] Re: Single Chain for Your Long-Stay Bike

[Nick Payne]

I bought a 136 link Wipperman 11se chain for my Appaloosa. Can't remember 
how many excess links I removed to get the correct length chain with a 38t 
big chainring and 11-40 cassette:

https://www.connexchain.com/en/bike-chains/detail/connex-11se

They also make the same length chain in 7/8/9/10-speed, and other 
manufacturers (eg YBN, BBB, KMC) offer the same 136 link length as well.

Another good option! I have used this 10 speed 136 link chain and it lasts 
forever. Splitting a chain is no big deal but I have really enjoyed not 
dealing with it.

 For reference, my 51 cm Joe Appaloosa with 52 cm chainstays running a 
 42/24 chainrings and 11-34 cassette requires 124 links. I'll likely pickup 
 a microshoft sword 10 speed 11-38 to go along with a new chain

Agreed, thanks Collin. I don't mind splitting the chains but it'd be easier 
to simply buy one long chain and be done with it.

This is a great option, but once you buy two chains once, then save the 
excess, then you only need to buy one more chain for quite a lot of 
intervals thereafter. 

How has your experience been running the 11spd chain on 9-speed cassettes, 
if any?
