Chain Length - Am I missing something?

[subaqua]

easiest way for chain length is big front ring big rear sprocket add 2 links . thats what shimano and SRAM say on all of the chains and tech stuff for transmissions.

A missing link?

Is it possible that the 'b' screw needs a tweak?

It's possible it's a single chainring and a few people have missed that point.

I did not.

Here it is. In the lowest gear, shouldn't the lower jockey wheel be further back?

That is absolutely perfect. In big/big you want the jockey to bend forward no more than 45 degrees and in small/small it must bend back no more than just below horizontal. That setup is perfect.

Looks fine to me for a long cage mech.

Who needs Sheldon, we have something better here. Yellow Saddle, you know bikes and your knowledge is much appreciated, even for somebody with my years of cycling.

Thanks all. Took it out for a test ride earlier and it shifted fine so I was happy. Now I see Yellow Saddle describing it as perfect so I'm extremely pleased! Guess I was worried about nowt. Cheers for all the help / suggestions, it is genuinely appreciated.
