What Length Chain?
I'm putting a new chain and cassette on my wife's bike. It is a 10 speed Shimano setup. The original setup had a large cog with 25 teeth and 106 links of chain. The new cassette has 27 teeth. How do I know what length of chain to use?

You don't know if the previous chain was sized right. Google bicycle chain length, sheldonbrown and parktool sites generally the best.
