How do you size the bike chain. I put on my bike one cassete i do one 8 speeds 12-30 i have short cage but is shift okay, But the chain in big ring i have 53 and big cog the 30 the chain is too tight, I think i need longer chain. What is the correct way to measure the chain length

Follow this procedure: Derailer Adjustment

Note that the chain does NOT get threaded through the rear derailleur.
