changing sprockets

im trying to install a new chain and sprockets. the kit came with a 116 link chain and 56 tooth rear sprocket.after putting it all together it seems the chain is too long. im assuming i should just grind a few links off? if so is there any way to find out how many to take off? any tips would be great

Re: changing sprockets

put the chain adjusters so the tire is as far forward as possible

put the chain on

inspect where you need to cut





Don't cut it too short. You can cut it too long and be fine, once your too short your FUCKED
