Just went through this. Mine was a 100 links. My old chain was 98 so I cut the new one the same and it was 1/8" too short with the adjusters all the way in. The old one was really stretched. Had to add a rivet link. The adjusters are almost all the way with out with 100, so I will remove the rivet link as the chain stretches past the adjusyer limit. I would lay the new chain out over the sprockets and check to make sure. Don't repeat my mistake.
