    I have a Charge Mixer 8, it has an eccentric bottom bracket which is now at the extreme front of it’s adjustment and the chain is limp. If I turn the eccentric all the way to the back and remove a link the chain is too short to be joined back together.
    Am I just being tight and should just get a new chain or am I missing something about the available adjustment?
    I have done about 3800 miles on this chain.

    Any thoughts appreciated. :/
