yup--wrap chain around big/big combo. Add one link.

I bought a very nice derailleur chain at Walmart last Sunday, when the
LBSs were closed--cost $8 and had a quick connector link. (I do try to
avoid WM, but the bike project took priority--we all know how that is)

for bike repair check out everybody's favourite: sheldonbrown.com

Chain size- Around largest chainring and largest rear cog, plus two
links. Better to leave it a bit long.
