Wrong. Youtube how to size a chain by mock fitting it, then buy a cheap chain breaker and a universal chain. No math needed, no LBS upselling, you get the chance to learn a fundamental skill, and you can show up the forum know-it-all who thinks that using the word 'terminology' against someone is a put-down.
