Installing a bicycle chain steps
First, let’s determine the length of the chain. Single-piece chainring chain installation: common in station wagons and folding car chainrings, the chain does not pass through the rear derailleur, passes through the largest chainring and the largest flywheel, and after forming a complete circle, leave 4 chains.
Double crankset chain installation: Road bike cranksets are common, folding bikes also use road cranksets, and mountain bikes have a double crankset design starting in 2010. After the chain passes through the rear derailleur, the largest chainring and the smallest flywheel to form a complete circle, the angle formed by the straight line formed by the tension wheel and the guide wheel crossing the ground can be less than or equal to 90 degrees. This chain length is the optimal chain length. The chain does not pass through the rear derailleur, but passes through the largest chainring and largest flywheel to form a complete circle, leaving 2 links of chain.
After the length is determined, the chain needs to be installed. It is worth noting here that some chains have pros and cons, such as shimano5700, 6700, 7900, mountainous HG94 (new 10s chain) chains, generally speaking, the correct installation method is to face outwards.
