mineurbiz Posted February 14, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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......
