Hi there.
I have an on going problem and wonder if anyone has the anwser. I've been trying to get my gear running smooth, and had success in the garage, until i rode it for the first time. Again shifting problems and nothing i seem to do fixes this. Before the problem started my rear mech hanger snapped and i had to do a single speed conversion out on a trail to get me home.
Got home, got new hanger went to refit and couldn't find the old piece of chain removed to when i did the first aid repair. (left it on the ground next to my multitool - bugger) So proceeded to use a section of old chain, i say old but only 6 monthsish to bridge the gap.
I've now brought a new chain, Shimano HG73 and am wondering whether my gear problems are to do with my chain length being incorrect?
How do i know how long it should be?
If only i had picked up the old bits.
Spec of drivetrain is below if this makes a difference. Any help greatfully recieved.
GIANT TRANCE 2 2007 - Medium
Rear Mech - Shimano XT top normal
Cassette - SRAM PG950 11-34
Crank set - RaceFace Ride XC 44/32/22
Chain - Shimano HG73
