Frame change & chain length
Im changing all the parts from my old cro-moly frame to an alluminion one, the frame is the same size as the old one, exept the chain stay is 1/2" shorter , should i shorten the chain by 2 links or is that being too fussy ?

Thanks Ziemas. useing the visual's on that site, the chain length was correct on the old frame ,so I reduced the chain length by 2 links & it all worked ok exept I had to increase the length of the "B" screw to stop the top pulley rubbing on the 28t lowest sprocket.
