I bought a Ridgeback 365 commuter/hybrid last year.September 2019, from our local shop .I decided to buy a new chain this year.The bike was sold to me, fitted with 119 links.I went on the Ridgeback website( and other sites), and they all recommend chains with 116 links.I bought one, direct from Ridgeback, but am having second thoughts about fitting it.....surely, if I fitted a shorter chain, it would strain the derailleur.I have not tried that yet.....The shop weren't that helpful, when I questioned them, then tried to sell me a 122 link chain(horrendously expensive), then told me to shorten it …..I don't know what to do...has anyone got any good advice?
