Ah, I've just come in after spending an hour or 2 pissing around with the rear wheel etc so could have counted. Not going out there again tonight but will have a look in the morning if no one else has answered.

OR - do a search for gearing and/or 15t sprockets and it'll be there as some folk have to put a longer chain on when altering their gearing

108 links as standard and 110 if you have changed the gearing such as 16/44.

and 110 with a mille swing arm is NOT enough to let you change the gearing....

Would 108 links with 15 teeth front and stock rear sprocket do on Mille arm?

I understand that this has been done .... but I don't know how tight it was.
I'm hoping to get away with it when I do mine.
