Ok, two conditions, you have to know how to count.
I count links on bikes I have made sure chain length is right. Its even easier on the single speed...lol Follow the instructions on chain length setting, to see if the current chain is good, then by all means count links. Count (each chain) twice, break chain ONCE...
dude. lemme tell ya a story:
someone asked me to replace a door on their utility shed attached to a garage. they had a solid core replacement door already.
took off the original door, measured verrrrrrrry carefully to get the length exactly the same (using it as a template); marked and notched the hinge places and it hung perfectly.
one problem: the original door was too short and rubbed across the top of the concrete sill instead of being below it.
couldn't believe it. a former owner had done the original wrong and i hadn't caught it.
