Ride Mechanic Ride- 10INCH Tool 0.65

Description 10-INCH-TOOL A simple, rugged and accurate stainless steel 10 INCH TOOL compatible with all half inch pitch bike chains, even the narrow 11 speed. here are two versions for measuring either 0.65% (1x chainring) or 0.75% (multiple chainring) chain elongation. It accurately measures the pin-pin (same side) distance over 10 inches (10 links). These improvements offer genuine advantages for accurate measurement. SUMMARY Excessive wear and elongation of the bushingless bicycle chain can cause damage to sprockets and chainrings which causes inefficiency and potentially dangerous drivetrain slippage. It is well known that replacing a chain before it elongates beyond a certain point will limit major damage to other parts of the drivetrain which can significantly prolong the life of cassette and chainring. The generally accepted rule for replacement is that 2 chains should be replaced per chainring, and two chainrings (4 chains) per cassette. For a 1x front chainring (wide-narrow) it is recommended that the chain should be replaced at 0.65% elongation. With multiple chainrings the elongation can reach 0.75% before replacement is recommended. Ride Mechanic have worked with local manufacturers to design and produce a simple and accurate stainless steel 10 INCH TOOL. It is robust construction with a rigid reinforcing beam running lengthwise and each tool is quality control checked. The tool is compatible with all half inch pitch bike chains, even the narrow 11 speed. There are two versions for measuring either 0.65% (1x chainring) or 0.75% (multiple chainring) chain elongation. It accurately measures the pin-pin (same side) distance over 10 links (10 inches). Shop online or in store today for the Ride Mechanic Ride- 10INCH Tool 0.65.
