Thank, Jason. I haven't completed the gear changeover fully yet. I'm running the 9-speed chain that came with the bike, using it as my learning platform in case I screw it up. I did not change it's length for today's ride, but will look at if I should be shortened in the near future. So I haven't done the technical chain length part yet, which I presume is the part you are most interested in? That was more than my brain could take today.
