Is your chain an SR 12s?
Did you try to follow manual instruction?

edit; you need to explain a little bit of context, what does it mean too long or too short?
Does it rub on derailleur jockeys when you're on smallest chainring/smallest sprocket?
Does the RD is way too straight when on biggest chainring/biggest sprocket?

In a 12 EPS set up, when setting the chain length, I have found that I am either a little tight or a little loose- which one do you choose?

I have followed the Campy advice and am using their 12 spd chain. If I remove one link I fall slightly below what C is asking for
and if I leave it as is, I am a little bit above what C asks for...

just for clarity, what's your chain stay length and how much links are you using in both instances?

Couldn't you size it larger and use a quick link? If it does not work, take one link out and try it again?

You can always install the Campagnolo linke when you are satisfied.

I am already too large... so my only choice is to remove a link... but like I said I think I will be a hair too short (too close to the pully)

Also, the Campy link above is for MECHANICAL- I have EPS
EPS chains are not sized by chain stay length- rather speration of pully from small cog...

Bearing in mind the post above, perhaps take it to a mechanic, who knows what they’re doing.

?? I’m not understanding what you are saying.

Removing a link will increase the distance between the chain return path and the guide pulley.

The only potential problem would come from the big-big combo, and that shouldn’t be a problem if you are using a Campagnolo cassette and the chain was already too long to begin with.

This is ACTUALLY a simple question-

Referring to the diagram above, I am at about 16mm and when I take a link away, I am less than 10mm. So, as I said 15 posts earlier, which is the preference; less than 10 or more than 15?

not less than 3mm and not more than 22mm are the boundary conditions

ideally between 10mm to 15mm

16mm seems closest to ideal and between the boundary conditions
