How do I use this tool?
Place your bike on your workshop stand (for greater comfort) or against a wall.
Insert the left-hand part of the tool into a link on your chain (make sure the small hook is well inserted into the link), then lower the right-hand part to contact the chain to read the result.
Once correctly installed on your chain, the chain wear tester should lie as flat as possible.
How do you interpret the result?
If the tip of the tool (the right-hand part) does not go beyond the line above the "OK" sign, then your chain and cassette are in perfect running order.
If you push the right-hand tip of the tool between the 2 lines of "1", then you need to change your chain.
If you push the right-hand tip of the tool beyond the line at the beginning of part "2", then you need to change your chain and cassette or freewheel.
Compatibility :
Compatible with 5- to 12-speed and single-speed chains.
Not compatible with SRAM Flat-top chains.
How often should you use this tool?
It all depends on how often you ride.
We advise you to check the condition of your chain once a month to ensure smooth gear shifting, avoid premature wear of your cassette or freewheel and avoid having to change it sooner than necessary.
