It's really frustrating not to get any indications on how the chain length should it be with these oversized cages. I have one from koegel and I still don't know if I'm running it for full optimal operation. I believe my chain is too short now... but I can't really tell. Any idea on how to set up a chain length with massively oversize cages?
There are a bunch of videos on youtube that show how to size a chain. If your derailleurs can go into big/big with a little bit of bend in the derailleur, you should be fine.
Just installed mine. It will go big/big but doesn’t seem happy. Lower pulley is almost horizontal. When in 2 up from small in the back and small ring, chain is nearly floppy. Running 11/30 x 36/52. So frustrating
Yes, you do.
how long?

Do you need a longer chain?
How many links extra do you add
Can someone tell me what is the purpose of an over sized cage?
so your bike would look better when taking a pict. 😁😁
It's that easy?
