MTB Chain Sizing, Installation and Maintenance. Easy DIY drivetrain repair.
I cover how to check the wear of your bicycle chain to tell when it's worn out. Then I show how to size a new chain whether you have an old chain or if it's a new bike build. Easy, fool proof and no guessing! Finally I show how I clean and maintain my chain for flawless shifting and long life.

On a 2x would I tighten the chain using the large ring front and back, it's such a bad inline placement I guess you could say. It's a new gravel bike that slips on a steep climb (I mean were a gravel bike doesn't belong) but does fine on regular rides. My derailer hasn't got much tension on it so I'm guessing I need to take links out but it's a 105 drivetrain from the factory so I was thinking it's set right and maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for any advice and sorry about my wonderful communication skills😄

Yes, that's the combo to check the length even though you'd never really want to be in that gear combination due to cross-chaining

why remove factory grease from new chain?

THAT grease is just for rust prevention. Too thick and sticky. It'll cause a lot of drag.
