Chain Length Calculator
Use the calculator below to determine the correct chain length for your bike’s gearing and wheelbase.
To get started, measure the distance between:
-
The center of the output shaft (front sprocket), and
-
The center of the rear axle
Enter this measurement along with your gearing information to calculate the chain length you’ll need.

Notes: Chain links are typically even. “Axle move” shows how far to lengthen (+) or shorten (−) from your entered center distance to make that link count fit exactly. Verify with adjusters near mid-travel.
