    You must make sure it matches the range of cogs and chain wheels you use.
    Max Sprocket ?T
    Min Sprocket ?T
    Front Difference ?T max.
    Total Capacity ?T

    T is the number of teeth on cogs and chain rings.
    Longer increases everthing except Min Sprocket.
    It is usually better to error on the side of too long than too short.
