See where the chain connects and add 2 links. Cut there and attach the chain.
Its worked for me up to now and I havent read reasons why its a bad process, though now that Ive typed it there is a 60% chance I will be told why its a bad process.
Anyways, its quick and simple.
Funny, but I've NEVER had a chain the proper length to use the big/big combo using that method.
I run the chain on the big chainring the big cog and through the rear derailler and cut the chain where needed.
Cheers
