| Post subject: | SS chain 1/2 link. |
Putting a new chain on my Frankenbike SS rebuild. Sized the chain up but its short by about a quarter link. I would rather have the tensioner pushing up instead of down. Anyone have a 1/8" chain half link or know where I can get one local. Pulse may have them later in the week. Just don't know if they are 1/8" or not. |

EDIT: Reread your post, just ask your lbs for a couple extra links they have laying around. Below are instructions if you decide to eliminate the tensioner. A half link will only add or shorten the chain by 1/2 inch. To shorten by 1/4 inch, you will most likely have to add two teeth somewhere. Here are is a link that may be helpful...

I added another link but had to use 2 snap connectors so basically 2 more links. Was to long so I had to use the tensioner pushing down. Soulcraft recommends pushing up. I picked up a couple half links and it fits perfect. I can almost go without the tensioner. Thanks for the link for the magic gear calculator.  |

If you have not gotten it yet, I've purchased them from Adams Ave bikes before. This was a couple of years ago but they had them. (unlike bicycle warehouse, whose folks insisted I had no idea what I was talking about and I must have mistaken a half link for a power link  )
