I just recieved my chain/sprocket combo  today.  14F / 45R and a RKXSO O-Ring chai w/ 114 links. I got that lenght on the advice of the parts rep. I've noticed that most of the post reccomend 112 links. Will the 114 work?    :icon_question: :dunno_black:

Should work for now but you might run short of adjustment before the chain is worn out.  The 14/45/114 will move the axle back a little over a half inch.  I added 14/45/114 to my list, you can find the chain length calculator in the Wiki.  A 112 would be better I think.

I saw the 112 reccomondation on several of the boards and when I went to order the guy said I need a 114  :icon_question:

joshr08 on here is running your same sprocket sizes with a 112 link chain.  if its a masterlink style chain, it wont be hard to shorten it 2 links

no need for a power wheelie, just clutch it up.  if you want to power wheelie, you have bought the wrong bike, lol  but I love mine  :thumb:
