Re: tight chains
Worth noting that exact C-C distances on chain don't work quite as well as you might like them to, thanks to chain's annoying habit of relaxing by 10% or so during normal use. My rule of thumb is either to be able to move one of the endpoints of any given run of chain, or to include a tensioner. The former is preferable.
