They say put it on the biggest cogs at the greatest chain growth then add four links.
Jesus christ. I did that and as I expected I have a ton of chain.
Did anyone else follow them to the letter and had desirable results?
SRAM XX Chain Sizing
I've always added 2 links.
You could always remove the air from your shock, bottom it out and put on exactly as much chain as you need.
I've always been a two link kinda guy too.
I went by the book on this one and took the spring off my shock and compressed it all the way and measured from there. I've heard a few Wilson's were jacked with X01DH RD's eating their hanger's because they didn't allow for enough chain.
I'll just throw caution to the wind and lop off two more.
You are threading it around the 42T cog and chainring without going through the derailleur, then adding the 4 links, right?

Close, through the 24T cog (7spd DH), sans RD.

Fair enough, when I set up mine (OneUp 42T on W/N 32T chainring, hardtail) I followed the 4 link suggestion and it seemed a little loose, but hasn't caused any issues with slack chain at all, I could maybe take out one link, but unless I need to, I won't
