Hello! My chain was definitely too long before so I took out a couple links and now I might have the opposite problem.
What do you think? Chain too short or still good? It rides fine as long as I avoid big/big. I never really ride big/big for long anyways but on short hills it can be useful.
Thanks everyone!

Its fine.
Do you really want to buy a new chain? Just ride it. You shouldn’t ever use this combo anyways. Having enough length is really just so you don’t break your shit if you accidentally shift into this gear combo.
Chances of you using both big chainrings is very slim. I’d be okay with running this as long as I keep it in my mind to not cross chain.
If you don’t cross chain regularly you should be ok.
Beyond that, how is the toe overlap and how about that frame clearance, yikes…
You’re good mate
