Finally riding a big boys bike
I bought a 1973 Schwinn Paramount P-13-9 several months ago. It is in very nice shape (must have not been ridden much) It was all original except for the 5 speed freewheel, it was Japanese. The original should be Regina 14-24 tooth cogs. I bought a new Regina chain which has 116 links, when I compared it to the original it was 3 links longer. I am putting on an NOS gold Sun tour freewheel 14-22 tooth cogs which is close to original. My question is how you determine what length the new chain should be. Does it make a difference if it is 1 link more or one link less. The Campagnolo crank is 52-42. and the rear Campy derailleur Nuovo record. Any help would be welcomed.
John.
