as a general guide i add the front and rear sprockets and add 10 to get the correct(ish) chain length, so if i was running 10-70 the chain length would be roughly 90 link. Is it better to run a longer chain so the drive sprocket has a larger contact (pulling area) than using a short chain ? is there any performance gains/losses by running a longer chain ? thanks.
