Since I'm in the process of changing Terri's Trex from a 11-34 to a 11-28 I figured I better get some advice on whether or not to shorten the chain. I contacted Sheldon Brown at CaptBike@sheldonbrown.com and he told me one should always replace the chain at the same time. Seems like sound advice but since this chain doesn't have many miles on it..........
I also asked Calvin Jones at info@parktools.com and he said it was no big deal, however if the chain was originally the correct length removing 2 links should make it shift better. I'm all for that. Two links it is. I guess I can go for the new chain if/when I screw it up.
Sheldon recommends I purchase a SRAM PC-951 from his company http://harriscyclery.com
Man, I sure hope my new Dura-Ace, CXP-33 Black Rear 700c comes pretty soon from http://www.coloradocyclist.com I'm in need of a ride...or 10.

Take two links out and use the same chain. The chain is really new so it will be fine with the new cassette.
Hopefully you'll be rolling soon...
