mineurbiz Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Just buy a chain breaker or grind the stem off a link and remove the extra. Quote

goodguys75 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 if you are still having problems bring it by today and ill help you get it rolling thanks steve, but im workin.....just trying to figure out why the chain is so long.... Quote
mineurbiz Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 When you buy the chain, it is to long and you have to cut them. They allow for gearing changes, so loosen your tentioner, adjust it to about the middle of its travel and figure out how many lengths you need removed. This should allow for gearing changes both up and down. Quote
Island Chain Racing Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 thanks steve, but im workin.....just trying to figure out why the chain is so long.... Seems like someone mite have change the front sprocket to a 13 tooth. If its a newer 70 I would come with a 14 or so. Just droping down 1 tooth would make the chain droop...... My $0.02 Quote
