Chain Links with Mille Swingarm

Message

Bike nearly done, Mille Swingarm, wheels etc fitted today.
My standard Falco chain at 106 links (Renthal 525) with the wheel as far forward as it will go will not stretch to join back together.
Been in touch with B&C, cannot get extra links for Renthal chains as these come cut to length from the factory. They have Tsubaki chains on rolls so can cut to any length required.
So new chain needed.
Now I think 108 links will be enough, the standard Mille is 110.
Comments please.

Iirc the concensus in the past was to get 110 and cut down ....

I cannot remember why though!

As a long shot, contact A and R racing, they may have something as they support club racing such as BEMSEE and the like

or just go direct to source

Thinking.. I did have a link or two somewhere for a 525 and I have a feeling it was renthall not tsubaki.. if i find it I'll holler.

Standard chain fits with Mille swingarm when you use a 15t front sprocket (not tried it with the standard 16t)

Far cheaper to swap the sprocket than replace the chain .... and make the bike more manageable around town and even more "fun" when you crack it open.

Hi

I have a 15 tooth front, chain won't stretch enough to join.

i think that was why the concensus was for 110 :)

Have you a larger rear sprocket then?
