that's so incorrect that it's sad. You either don't know what youre doing or you are completely running incompatible setups. Small small results in the absolute LONGEST chain that you can run on that bike. If it results in a chain that is too short in the big big then you are running a combo that is outside of feasible wrap. Period. If you then size it big big then you're going to throw your chain when nailing it after the top of a climb and can't see straight.
Just put the chain tool down and step back from the bike. Just because it's a simple machine doesn't mean that everyone has common sense.
