Chain adjustment blocks with aftermarket chain?
I had a new chain put on about 1k mi ago along with new sprockets (-1). I went to adjust the chain the other day and noticed the adjustment blocks are still past replace chain...should the shop have removed a link or something? Should I call them and ask them to correct this or is this part of having an aftermarket chain? It's an RK gold chain...it's my first bike and first time through this stuff, but my first instinct was that it should be corrected by the shop, am I wrong? Thanks!

Again, its NOT normal. Buy your new stuff, put the block to brand new, then decide where to cut the chain before install.

I've always installed new sprockets/chains so that it was adjusted all the way in, and had the correct amount of slack at that point, then cut the chain to the right length.
Like boredandstroked said. Its not normal. Your reducing the amount of adjustment for the future, and your lengthening the wheelbase (small I know)
