Sorry, I tried to follow the thread while doing other things and you mentioned different links/chains, etc. I misses the specific response regarding only the 116 link chain.
It still sounds odd. I how you figure it out, but it doesn't really sound like just chain length. If it is, since you bought two chains, try more links. On what combination front ring/rear cog does it bind, or skip? Good luck, hope you figure it out.
