Bicycle Chain Wear Indicator

Description

We have designed this chain checker to easily and quickly determine the degree of wear on a bicycle chain. How to use this tool? Place the bicycle on a workshop stand (for greater comfort) or against a wall. Insert the left part of the tool into a chain link (ensure the small hook is well inserted into the link) and then lower the right part onto the chain to read the result. Once correctly installed on your chain, the chain wear checker should lie as flat as possible. How often should you use this tool? Depending on the frequency of use, it is recommended to check the condition of your chain once a month. This helps ensure smooth gear shifting and limits premature wear of the cassette or freewheel. Since wear can vary depending on the areas, take several measurements on different sections of the chain. However, avoid the section with the quick link, as it could distort the result. Professional tip: This chain wear checker is a precision tool. If the tool is dropped, this may affect its accuracy and, therefore, the result obtained. Be careful when handling it and protect it from falls. Product features: Length: 12.27 cm Height: 2.65 cm Thickness: 2 mm Weight: 29 grams Made in: SLOVENIA Compatibility: Compatible with 5 to 12-speed chains and single-speed chains. Not compatible with SRAM Flat-top chains. How to interpret the result? If the tip of the tool (right part) does not go past the line above the «OK» inscription, then your chain and cassette are in perfect working order. If the right tip of the tool is between the 2 lines of the «1», you must change the chain. If the right tip of the tool reaches beyond the line where the «2» part begins, you must change the chain and the cassette or freewheel. Did you know?
