#420 will have more strength than the #41 chain because the side plates will be taller. #40 will be the beefiest chain in this class. This will help with thicker sprockets since there is more room between the side plates. #41 will look just like the #420 chain, but will stand shorter.

Do I need a longer chain for a bigger sprocket?

But, it takes more chain to go around the sprocket, because of a larger circumference. It might be less distance measured from the front sprocket to the rear now, but it still takes more chain to go around, therefore you will need a bit more chain, depending on the teeth jump. Just try it out and add as needed.

How do I know if my bike chain is too long?

Do a simple check on your bike by shifting the chain to the big chainring and the biggest cassette cog; then, push on the end of the derailleur cage (pushing forward) to see how much it will move forward. If it moves just a little, then you're good. If it moves a lot, then you've got too much chain.

L = 2 (C) + (F/4 + R/4 + 1) L = Length – your chain length in inches (rounded to the nearest inch).
