Opt for certainty

Determining the right time to replace the chain is crucial. Continuing to ride with an excessively worn chain can not only be inconvenient in terms of shifting, but can also lead to potentially dangerous situations. If the chain is too worn, the risk of derailment increases. Replacing it too early is a shame because it often means having to replace the cassette as well, a costly operation. With this chain wear indicator you can check for yourself when it is really necessary to replace the chain. The wear indicator works in three stages: With wear, the chain lengthens, creating more space in each link socket. Using this tool is simple: hang the indicator behind a link with the hook on the right side, preferably at the top of the chain. The tip on the left side of the indicator falls into the chain. The further the point of the indicator falls into the chain, the more worn the chain is. The chain wear indicator presents three examples: in the first example on the left, there is no need to worry, the indicator falls slightly in the chain. The chain is (almost) new. In the second example, shown on the chain wear indicator, the indicator falls deeper into the chain. The bottom of the chain wear indicator tip is almost under the chain. There is nothing serious at the moment, but it is important to monitor this. If the chain wear indicator is visible under the chain, as shown in the last example on the chain wear indicator, then replacement of the chain is inevitable. The chain wear indicator is suitable for all common derailleur chains, whether Shimano ®, KMC®, Taya® or another brand.
