32--34 tooth cog

Hey there, I'm putting on a 34 tooth MEGA-RANGE (8-speed) cassette on
my bike. I'm currently running a 32 - tooth cog on the rear...ya think
I can run the same length chain? It's only 2 teeth difference, and
I'll be SURE to check the clearance (b-screw).

thanks
jim

Provided it's long enough, it'll be fine. Only half a link difference in
real life.

cheers,

Can't say without knowing how much slack your chain has available
now. Just be sure to carefully check that the large chainring/34-
tooth cog combination still works - with the bike in a stand turn the
crank slowly by hand and shift into the large/large combination. Even
if you never plan to use that combination it should still work for the
time when you accidentally try to shift into it. Otherwise you can
end up breaking some expensive hardware.
