I'm sure you figured this out by now, but a new chain should be long enough for your cross bike. If you are trying to put on an old chain off of one of your road bikes, it's likely that it will be too short because the road bike is going to have shorter chainstays (found this out the hard way with my cross bike).
P.S. this is the first time I have read this thread... sorry.

« on: September 16, 2010, 11:54:25 AM »Also... I'd be more worried about how sweet your beard is than whether or not your chain is long enough. Lets get those priorities straight.

« on: September 16, 2010, 11:52:58 AM »Is this all stuff that Mario used to ask in person so I never heard? Or is it his new immersion among engineers all day long?
Here is my googling: http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-449465.html
He,he, mystery...
Thanks guys.Posted by: Mario
« on: September 16, 2010, 11:46:24 AM »PS if the chain ends up short (which I doubt it would) you can just go to the local shop and ask if they have any spare links lying around since you'd only need like 3.
Don't mention you're a triathlete or they'll charge you for the links.
LOL!
