(+ 54 53 2 1) ; 110L (let*((regular-outer-links 54) (master-link 1) (endpoint-inner-links 2) (in-between-inner-links (1- regular-outer-links)) (outer-links (+ regular-outer-links master-link)) (inner-links (+ endpoint-inner-links in-between-inner-links)) (links (+ outer-links inner-links)) ) links) ; 110 New chain? Count 54 outer links with an inner link at each end! ("54 + 2") What chain? See at "11S"; the current chain in use is downmost. frame: aluminium 17.5" [1] gears: originally 2x11, 1x11 casette is: 42 36 32 28 24 21 19 17 15 13 and 11T nipples: Spoke wire gauge 14 (3.30 mm or 0.130") [2] saddle post: 31.6 x 400 mm shifters: Shimano suspension: hardtail, 100 mm travel (120 PSI; quick reset from handlebar, perhaps should be removed?) tires: 29x2.20" or 57-622, max 65 PSI (I estimate I have 55-60 PSI ATM ... ?) modifications/setup (updated) 2019-11-29 09:00 ^eval me * weight of MTB with no extra equipment save for an empty bottle cage: 13 kg and change * lowered the saddle 0.25 cm - hm, at this proximity to (unattainable) perfection, increments should probably be done in 0.25, not 0.5 * raised saddle 0.5 cm * removed rear brake handle, housing, and brake, i.e. the whole chain of components save for the rotor, as the rear brake is _still_ disfunctional ever since I washed the bike with high-preassure water/air several months ago by now - despite since then replacing both pads (twice) and rotor! bli med cykel! (svordom) * raised saddle 0.25 cm * removed the front shifter and the front derailer. The cable got slacked and needed be replaced and I lost my temper and removed the whole thing. I don't need two chainrings in the city anyway, and it makes for a almost silent drivetrain. (The experience on a 19" MTB.) * trued the rear wheel, replaced rear shift cable Enköping tour * new washing/lubrication routine: first cleaned the whole bike with high-pressure water; then dried it with ditto air [NOTE: I _don't_ belive in this method anymore. Since I did it, rear disc brake don't take, rear derailleur cable as flayed, and rear wheel suddenly popped loose with a bent axle. Don't do it!]; cleaned the chain as good as possible with cloth and brushes while arm pedaling; lubed the chain with one drip of chain-saw oil per roller; gave the front and rear derailers a couple of drops as well; pedaled and shifted; last cleaned the driveline and derailers with a new set of cloth and brushes * moved the rack down to the ~8.75 mark, even tho there isn't such a mark :) using the saddle height scale * moved saddle forward horizontally 1.25 cm, to between the 10 and 15 marks on the scale; used a spirit level to have it horizontal, measuring the entire saddle, i.e. between rear and front high points Västerås tour * removed surplus rubber handles and grinded - perhaps dangerous, if one gets the tube in the chest... * raised handlebar and raised/pushed back saddle to compensate for frame size; corresponding change to shifters and brake levers angles * commuter-style, flat pedals * reflexive sticky tape head (white) and tail (red) * fish-eye commuter/city-style head light (white), ditto tail (red). 2*3V Lithium batteries each For adventure/night riding/touring: - reflexive snap-on ribbons (white) around down- and seattubes - Cateye Volt500XC head light: USB-chargable, max 500lm - LED tail light, 5 diodes, 2 AAA chargable 1.2V or ordinary 1.5V batteries; on right seat stay * 2 bottle cages with 650ml bottles, all of it Zéfal; or one bottle plus a 400ml thermos. (I cut the bottle cages intersecting parts so they won't rub against each other and make an annoying noise.) * kickstand, Spectra [now removed] * rack, max 10kg, Spectra, with a mounted, red reflector (actually a defect tail light); rack used with drybag and a strap. [now removed] [1] This frame is too small for me: at 180 cm, the optimal MTB hardtail frame size for me is 19". Compute at: [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoke_wrench
