Generally and to all: I've very often decided to use a rd that is far out of spec in chain takeup for a given chainring + cassette combination, for all sorts of reasons. Instances: well, first, the DA 7401 (I think it's the ...01) on my present Matthews for an admittedly close ratio 13-25 10-sp

According to this video https://youtu.be/O0YibMDWBAw and most mechanics I’ve learned from it’s less complicated and yields the same resulting length to bypass the rear derailleur. I think if you do the same exercise with the RD installed, you end up with the same chain length. On Jan 20, 2024, at

Thanks. I didn't even think to see if the chainline was matching some standard or other. On multi-gear drivetrains, I've always been more concerned with, and prioritized, arm- or chainring-to-chainstay clearance. I might have compounded my problem by using a modern, wide (mtb or modern

The method works only with chain laced through the rear derailleur. A half-link's difference won't make any difference as to too short or too long. Install the RD, loop chain around big ring, through derailleur, and around big cog; the rd should be stretched but not to point of binding -- ie, a

Nothing to add to others' advice except definitely keep it too long 'til you're sure. What I look for when derailleur and chain are mounted is a decent amount of room left in big-big so I'm not straining the pulley cage, then I don't care if the small-small is droopy. I may accidentally get

Rear Derailleur = Yes.  Mid-cage as stated in original post. My fear is that I’m offering too-much slack. I only have one quick link. I’ll probably mock it up with RD at current length before snapping the quick link in place. On Jan 20, 2024, at 2:21 PM, Patrick Moore wrote:Forgot to add: the
