Unfortunately I don't have a chain hook. Why do you think I should make the chain shorter?Ender– Ender2023-09-08 11:08:38 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2023 at 11:08

2Why you should make it shorter: In your photos in the big-big combination it looks like your derailleur still allows a good amount of movement and in the small-small combination there is very little (too little) tension. I think you can even see that the chain is sagging slightly.Michael– Michael2023-09-08 12:12:17 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2023 at 12:12

1This answer isn't wrong. The new chain length is fine as well. Yes, the derailleur is extended quite a bit to the front in the big-big combination, but neither the derailleur nor any other part is in danger of being damaged, and one shouldn't use the big-big combination anyway (it's inefficient and bad for the chain). There are pros and cons to shortening the chain. Michael's and Criggie's answers are both reasonable.jcsahnwaldt Reinstate Monica– jcsahnwaldt Reinstate Monica2023-09-11 14:15:53 +00:00Commented Sep 11, 2023 at 14:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. mountain-bike), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
