DID is a great chain, RK is also. That out of the way getting/having a little more chain around (from a "cut") isn't a bad idea. To cut simply measure (count) the links that you need and mark-I usually use a wire-tie. Carefully grind off the next links pins where they were peined (rounded) over and use a punch to equally drive the sacrificed link out. I do some grinding even with my chain breaker just to make it a bit easier.
If you are a little apprehensive to try this on your new chain, if you get a longer than needed chain you can practice on the end and have a "repair" link left over. I would recommend a spare master link or two also. Good luck. OM
