Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

*TECH HELP* Chain links...

I'm going from a 53/39 to a compact 50/34. How many links should I remove from my chain? Is there a standard number? Dura-Ace dérailleurs if that matters. Thanks!
