Are you going to resize the chain at all or leave it as is? If you leave it as is, yeah you’re going to have suboptimal shifting.

For us, it was Sleepytime

I like you, you’re a good human. Saving this for if/when it needs to be replaced in the future.

Well then I just suck at wrenching properly.

Sort of similar story for me, although not with one of these spare wrenches. I installed a new steering damper on a 2014 Ducati 899. I wasn’t able to get enough clearance for the torque wrench when installing it, so I used an extender. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I ended up stripping the bolt. At least it’s torqued correctly for now, and as an added bonus, with blue loctite! I feel bad for the next guy who’s going to have to replace that steering damper next. It’s probably going to be me, so fuck me. In actuality, it’s likely going to involve replacing that entire steering column…Fuuuuuck

It already takes me 15 minutes to brew about 10 cups of coffee for myself.
