Thats the approach I had planned on with my new wheels. You know what they say about plans, plans go to **** as soon as you cut the new chain too short.
Speaking of who needs an 11 speed chain with no miles? If your chain stay is shorter than mine it would prolly work fine. It’s about 2 links short for my bike. It would shift on to the largest cog but the derailer didn’t look like it enjoyed it.

How is buying stuff from ProBikeKIt? Delivery times reasonable? Does all of their stuff come from England?
They have something I want at a good price, but not if it takes 3 months to get here.

Or you could just use two matter links and extend it.
