Oh, I don't know, really. I just think everytime I see someone saying "try taking a link out" someone else always says, "Well, you have to take a a pair." It was just my turn to be the smartass this time.

Although, when you buy a new chain, it always says something like 114 links or 116 links on the package. That would be 57 or 58 links, if you were talking pairs.
