Chain length for downhill setup?

Mark Gosselin · 09-24-2009, 07:55 AM

Is the technique for determining chain length on this website applicable to a downhill setup? Meaning I only have a single front chain ring (no front derailleur) and thus actually ride in the 'large/large' combination.

This technique should work the same:
