    Shorten Chain?

    How many links can I expect to take out of my chain given the followin scenario.

    05 Kona Coiler
    6'' rear travel
    Front: 22/32/Bash
    Rear: Shimano 9 speed cassette
    Chain: Shimano LX 9 speed CN-HG73 (116 links)

    I would expect 3 or 4 as a guess. Any good rules of thumb or other indicators that will lead me to an answer.
