750SF - Number of chain links

[futuraman]

Does anyone know the correct number of links? I am ordering a new O-ring chain and I just hate it when I order a 110 and it turns out to be a 112! Before you say just order a 120 and cut it- I am a cheapskate.

106 spindles on the SF.
Beware, GT isn't the same.

Paul,
How many links on a 78 Mirage (same as all the series I triples I expect)? Am about to change out a 630 chain for a 530 o ring chain.

Thanks

Sorry Andy, I'm not well versed in triples.
I should think you'll find that in the Green Book?

No it doesn't. There's only one pin per link.
106 links = 106 spindles = 106 pitches.
Best to talk in pitches, less ambiguous.
One pitch of 530 chain is 5/8" or 15.875 mm
106 pitches = 1682.75 mm

Ok, quite right.
I've always managed to buy what I needed though.
