I recently installed a 13-32 freewheel on my xtracycle. I have heard that the way to determine the proper chain length is to place the chain on the largest front and rear gears without derailleur. Make the length one length longer than necessary. Since the 32 tooth is larger than normal, would this make the chain too long and floppy on all the other gears? What would you recommend for chain length sizing?
