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....

bugger!

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

very close imho

I know that the standard sprockets on the mille arm needed 110 links....

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.
