Determining the right moment when the chain really needs to be replaced is an important issue. Driving on for too long seems to be an inconvenience in terms of switching gears, but also leads to potentially dangerous situations. If the chain is too worn, the chance of pedaling through increases. Replacing it too early is a shame as the cassette must then also be replaced, a costly action. With this chain wear meter you can check for yourself when the chain really needs to be replaced. The chain wear gauge is based on three steps. Since the chain lengthens due to wear, there is more space in each link bush, the operation of this chain wear gauge is simple. The chain wear gauge is hooked behind a link with the hook on the right-hand side. Preferably at the top of the chain. The tip on the left side of the chain wear gauge falls into the chain. And the further the tip of the chain wear gauge falls into the chain, the further the chain is worn. There are shown 3 examples on the chain wear gauge. In the leftmost example there is nothing to worry about, the chain wear gauge falls a small piece in the chain. The chain is (as good as) new. In the second example, shown on the chain wear gauge, the chain wear gauge falls further down the chain. The bottom of the tip of the chain wear gauge is almost under the chain. Nothing is happening right now, but it is important to keep an eye on this. If the chain wear gauge is visible on the underside of the chain, as shown in the rightmost example on the chain wear gauge, then chain replacement is a must. The chain wear gauge is suitable for all common derailleur chains, whether Shimano®, KMC®, Taya® or another IceToolz: the choice of professionals and do-it-yourselfers!
