Building bike chains
84" of cable per side for a 29r Jones ACX 2.1 tire or any other 2.1 I'm assuming. 15 strands of chain cut into 7 links. String the cable through the chain loops on both sides leaving 1/2 inch or so of cable on both sides of ferrules. Crimp ferrules once in the center as shown here, then cable stop one strand off, this allows you to be able too adjust the tension of the cable to your satisfaction. Space chains as you like...works out to 5.5 or every 6 inches....give or take:) MAKE SURE THE TIRE IS DEFLATED WHEN DOING THIS! Air tire up and check tension if loose let air back out and pull some more cable through (do both sides)...then repeat.... if good crimp cable ferrule 2 more times and put the last cable stop on...now go fucking ride some snow and ice now!!
