I intend replacing my worn OE 11-42 cassette with a Sunrace CSM8 11-46 on weekend . New chain as at the limit on the old but how many extra links should I add in if any Big cog suggests 4, little cog suggests 0, so is it just a derailleur adjustment? Confused as always !

Thanks for the help

Check also that you have long gage derailleur. Because when you switch to the 11-46 cassette, I remember that you need a long gage....I could be wrong

@lumpy , Thanks , assuming you had a quick link before does that mean you added 2 ? I start with 116 including the quick-link so 118 or 119?

Thanks!

Follow the Sram guide and you can't go wrong, forget the length of your old chain(it may not have been correct) and start from scratch.
