Chain Replacement Question

[JGcycle]

I am replacing the chain on my Voltbike Bravo, and the original chain has 124 links. The replacement chain has 126 links, and I was wondering if I need to remove 2 links, or would the 126 links be fine?

Might be just fine. Try it. You can always go back and remove two.

The 126 links could be within the tolerance. Put the chain on and upshift to the smallest cassette sprocket. In case the derailleur cage is not totally on the horizontal (or, even worse -- pointing upwards) then you are good to go.

I found this video on YouTube that explains how to determine correct chain length. I think I get it now.
