Dude your content quality is boomin! 🤘🏼

Thanks for making it simple!

Best video on this I’ve seen so helpful & without any unnecessary commentary

Way better explanation on sizing a new chain than most You-tube vids. Thanks, mate👍

Super awesome thanks for the tutorial. Now I can sizing my new chain without the old one because I replace all the drivetrain. Super thanks man

The only actual non spam video or anxient bike chain guide. I have a shimano not a campagnola

Excellent video! I never knew how to size the chain without the old chain as a reference. My only comment is: With that much chain wear on the old chain, I would expect the cassette teeth to be worn as well. This would cause even the new chain to shift badly until a new cassette was also added. This has happened to me, so now I tend to change the chain and the cassette at the same time. It IS possible to avoid having to change the cassette every time by using the chain wear tool to tell you just when the chain has worn only minimally, but not so far as to have worn the cassette too.

Most excellent, short and to the point, video. Park Tool could not do a better job! -Larry

Thanks for the vid. I must tell you as someone who watches a lot of these, the background "music" is not only not needed, it is quite annoying. Just trying to be helpful.

came for the chain sizing, stayed for the 80s soundtrack!

Excellent video straight forward cheers 🍻

Very good clear video. I learned a lot. Thanks dude.

Perfect timing on this video lol thanks

Good quality content

My full proof way is the math method: Measure the distance from the dropout to the center point of the bottom bracket and multiply by 2. Next divide the number of teeth on your largest chainring by 4. Next divide the number of teeth on the largest cassette gear. By 4. Total the sum of all three, and that’s the ideal chain length.

@3:54 you didn't explain how tight to pull the chain when aligning it with the master link...it appears to have a bit of slack, but how much slack is ideal? The amount of slack can affect the length..?

thanks

You should be immersion waxing for chain lube. You could get 3x cassette, chain, and chainring life. No joke.

Good show! How do you know what kind of chain to buy to replace the old chain?

good stuff

Good deal.

Is it okay to use 128 links where I actually used 120 links chain? Why should I not use extra links ? What will happen if I use more links ?

I had this same idea with my new chain… line them up and just see the original length. But I don’t think the original length will fit because I bought a brand new derailleur which has bigger cogs which look like they have more teeth. Your thoughts?

Nice!

When I did this I ended up with too short a chain. Deruiller pulled in a straight line when I'm in my biggest cog in back. No idea what's goin on there.

Never lube a new chain, that factory grease is amazing, adding mineral/dry or synthetic oil washes that OEM stuff out.

What is the downside to a chain that is stretched a bit?

How many links did it cone from a new chain?

Hi are these methods works with oval chainring as well?

I’ve always laid my old next to my new…. I had no idea there was an independent way of knowing the right length. Is that a standard for MTB also?

Why would you put lub on a new chain, the oils from the factory should be good anuff!

69th like. Nice

Nothing new here, just copies existing chain

2nd methods wont work i can tell you that, it's way too short once you wrap it around the derailleur
