Hey everyone! Does my chain look okay like that or is it too short already? One bike shop says it’s fine the other one states that it’s one the shorter side. Bike is Scott Addict Gravel 40 if that matters.
Thanks a lot in advance!

looks fine
YES
It is completely fine.
Yes, looks kinda short but the deraileur is fine. Also that’s an extreme example, anyway you shouldn’t ride on both biggest sprockets.
Yep, just about spot on.
Is ok.
Here is nice chain length calculator 🙂 Should be close enough.

PS: If specs I found are correct, it is 110 links for perfect fit. How long chain is there?
I’d say perfect. Rideable in biggybigs. Hence, tension should be good on all other chainring combos
Its fine,also that posittion is not usable so……..you have plenty of room
Run your chain around the big cog in the front and big gear in the rear bypassing the derailleur. Bring the chain ends together and add two links. If your chain is that length it’s fine
Definitely not **too** short – for everything else I would need to see small small…
Looks good to me.
looks perfect lol
