Chains wear with every ride, and a worn chain quickly chews through your cassette and chainrings. The KMC Chain Checker tells you when to replace it in a few seconds, no ruler needed.
It's a two-step tool: hook the Step 1 end onto a roller, then let the Step 2 end drop into the chain and read the 0.0 to 0.8 scale. The tool is clearly marked: under 0.8 is good, over 0.8 means replace.
Made from steel by one of the world's biggest chain makers, it's a small tool that pays for itself the first time it saves a cassette.
Any rider who looks after their own bike and wants to replace chains on time.
Quick check
Read chain wear in seconds.
Clear markings
Under 0.8 OK, over 0.8 replace.
Steel
Tough enough for years of workshop use.
