Re: uncomfortable number of links
To clarify, because it's a rather confusing bit when dealing with roller chain: technically, one link is 2 rollers. There are half-links, which are just 1 roller long. You always should round up to the nearest number of rollers. Of course, a better option would be to design your system to need just slightly less than a whole number of rollers. If that's not possible, a tensioner could help remove most of the slack in your system.
