Sorry for opening up this topic once again as im still quite new to all of this. I measured it with the big big method and double checked with an online calculator. Largest chainring is 50 and largest sprocket is 34; chainstay 405mm. Got it to 110 links. On a descent yesterday when i pedaled half a rotation backwards the chain came off at the front. Also it seems to have quite a lot of slack when shifting sometimes and makes a little noise at the back; otherwise shifting performance is great. All parts are new and freshly waxed.
Maybe this is more of front derailleur issue?
Thank you guys very much in advance 🙂

…and small small
In my opinion it looks a couple of links too long, once you allow for some stretch etc
Small to small should be just under a little tension, at the bite of the spring basically
Just use a chain length calculator and lengthen your chain accordingly 🤷♂️
Looks fine to me, I wouldn’t want the derailleur cage to have anymore tension in big to big- I was bike mechanic for 10 years
Looks fine but expect slight chainslaps.
