This video will take you step by step through sizing a bike chain, including determining whether your old chain was correctly sized, sizing to an old chain, and the largest cog & chainring method, as well as some exceptions and considerations such as rear suspension and chain guides.

If there were awards for KZfaq videos, Park Tool would win hands down in the "How-To" category. They are clean, consistent, professional, clearly scripted, well organized, step-by-step...I could go on and on. Excellent way to promote the purchase of high-end tools and ensure happy customers after the sale, having empowered them to do the job right. If I owned a bike shop and hired a new mechanic or had an employee wanting to transition into that position, I would point them to the Park Tool channel and say "watch every video, then we'll let you start touching the bikes". Great as usual.

Calvin is this best bike service teacher I've found on KZfaq. I've nearly finished replacing my entire drivetrain for the first time from his videos. Others have said it before; this is the kind of value added benefit that a company can do to make me want to support them by buying their products. Granted it would be one thing if the tools were awful, but Park Tool stuff has consistently held up much better than cheap alternatives. For the premium, I'll take the better tools and support the consistently professional videos. Thanks Calvin and Park Tool!

Thank you so much Mr. Calvin Jones and to the park tool team! You've helped me so much to the point I'm capable of being able to independently service my bicycle! Thanks to your wide array of impeecable video guides, I was able to get a blown inner tube replaced when I was at least 10km away from the nearest bicycle shop! Another incident, I was able to cruise back home with a bent derailleur hanger from a crash, by readjust my derailleur indexing and limits! Besides, I just got my bicycle chain resized to have less chain slap and probably reduced 10 grams of chain's weight! After learning how to correctly cut and size the chain here 😊😊

What I like about these Park Tool videos and Calvin Jones is that the repair videos are very clear and specific. For instance other videos also say to add 2 links in sizing a chain; - but are unclear how to count a link. Calvin Jones is very specific and clear, so that you don't need to guess how to count 2 links.

This really helped me. First time replacing a chain. Tiagra 10s. Before I watched THIS video, i watched another video and I didn't pay attention to the details. I opened my new chain wrapped it around the sprocket and the cassette put the pin in and linked the new chain. Couldn't figure out why the chain was so loose. LOL So realizing my dumbness, and that I couldn't reuse that pin, I ordered a set of pins. In the meantime I found your channel. I watched the chain install and chain resizing 5 times each. Resized the chain, installed the new pin. Everything is good. Going to watch the videos on rear-derailleur adjustments and then ill hit the road. You guys also showed me that my brand of bike tools where trash.

I disagree that replacement chains are ALWAYS longer, than we need. Typical off the shelf chains are 114 or 116 links long. In my touring bike I have pretty standard 48-26-26 triple crankset with 11-34 cassette and pretty long chainstays - 460mm. That configuration requires exactly 116 links of chain, so no cutting needed. Actually I need to be careful not to buy the too short, 114 links version.

Calvin, my 1980 Raleigh racer started jumping its chain in 1st gear. Chain was factory fitted. I split a link, removed it, added a master link in place, then measured it using your system. I know your method works as I have already used it on other bikes. So, when I measured my racer's chain, I found it was fitted 2 links too long. This is crazy, since it's a factory mistake. And Raleigh built it, in Halesowen, Birmingham, UK.

Park tool videos are indeed great! One note on this video however! Make sure you watch it ALL they way before cutting. I was just about to cut, but fortunately decided to watch the video all the way through. There are a number of exceptions, which are mentioned only at the end. Most notably full sus and hardtails with SRAM 11/12 spd.
