Do yourself a favor, buy a DID X-ring chain from JH Racing, he sells one size (I believe it's a 104) and then you cut it to length. He sells these for $65, much cheaper than Rocky mountain and any other places.

Get the motion pro chain break if you don't have one yet.

Having said all that, if I were to guess with your setup, probably around a 98 to 100 would work. It's always a pisser though when you buy one and it's one link too short!!

A chain press helps. Pick up a bunch of master links too. I normally buy 2 chains. I use 1 as the main chain and break up the other as I need it. You'll see what I mean when you want to change the gear ratio or you get an extended swinger in the future...PB
