We shorten the chain on the bike. What happens when the chain is short?

What happens to my bike when the chain is short?

In this video, we delve into the consequences of shortening a bicycle chain. Watch as we begin by examining a stretched bicycle chain and proceed to test the behavior of the bike's shifters with the altered chain length. You'll learn a step-by-step process for shortening your bike's chain and witness our experiments to assess its performance. As we push the limits and attempt to further reduce the chain's length, you'll discover the surprising outcomes that arise when the chain is shortened. Join us on this journey of exploration and experimentation, culminating in a satisfying and unexpected conclusion. Whether you're a cycling enthusiast or simply curious, this video offers insights into the fascinating world of bicycle mechanics.
