I let my last road chain go to far and had to replace the cassette too. Got it done, working, but still had aweful drivetrain noise, and thought my front chainrings needed replacing too. Had a ride in the rain, washed bike, re-oiled chain, and suddenly it was silent! All the noise was apparently due to the storage grease on the chain. Never experienced it like that before, but there you go - I'll be re-oiling my new chains from now on.

Great video! I have found that for me my chains wear about three times as fast as my cassettes. A new chain will wear down very quickly on a worn cassette and vice versa. Usually, the wear of only a few of the most used cogs on the cassette "spoil" the cassette. A trick I have used in the past to extend the life of chains and cassettes is to start with three chains and rotate them on about a 1000km basis. The chain and cassette wear matches up better and reduces the accelerated wear caused by mixing new and worn components. It has doubled to tripled the life of those two components on my commuter bikes. I usually put in about 5000-9000km annually so it can save a bit of cash to purchase other bike bling!

This is a great video with a flaw. It has a wonderful description of chain wear, why it's a problem, and even when to replace the chain, but then it recommends the Park chain checker, which is not a good way to measure wear. A ruler measuring 24 links over 12 inches, and using 1/16" elongation as a guide, which is easy enough to see, and you're good to go. It's even cheaper than the Park chain tool. The problem with the Park tool is that it is not only measuring the chain elongation, it's also measuring other things, like the the gap between the the roller and the pin as well as the wear between the roller and the pin. Picture it, the Park tool pushes itself between two rollers, each of which push against a pin, so its measurement, as Sheldon Brown says in his article on the subject of chain wear, is confounded by the roller play . Stick with a ruler, it's more accurate, or go for the Shimano chain tools that avoid the problem with the Park and other tools. Nah, go for the ruler. Thanks for the great video all the same!
@Desmo5002 жыл бұрын
Hi, wish I had seen this earlier. I see your point, but I do not agree this is a serious flaw. Other experts suggest elongation measures with rulers even on an entire chain are likely incorrect, "as they miss the wear from the rollers", see ZeroFrictionCycling in zerofrictioncycling.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Chain-Longevity-Testing-Full-test-brief.pdf . To nit pick, the measures are pin to bush, bush to roller, as rollers run on the bushes not the pins; i fully acknowledge this is not fair as it does not diminish your argument. Wear from rollers impacts the life of the chain too. In the tool case they measure only 2 link roller/bushing sets of the 11 measured (eg ParkTool CC-2, which is 18% of the rollers) not all of them, but i get the point that what matters is the pin to pin as that is what hits the cogs. But the longer the tool (eg ParkTool CC-3.2 is longer than CC-2 so less than 18% of rollers are measured) the smaller the impact. In the ruler method, to be accurate you would need to pull the chain off and measure it in entirety and then measure segments as some segments of the chain will wear differently; this segment issue is key to why the tools are viable. The additional (very minor) wear of the rollers may be ignored as it allows us to avoid reaching the 0.5% wear point, which is the damage point and we can quickly and easily measure 3-4 locations on the chain much faster and probably more accurately than holding up a ruler and measuring by eye; a digital measuring device may solve that for those of us with age related eye deterioration. So the ruler method has accuracy issues too as it is by eye for what is a very small measure (0.5%) but more than that, it has inconvenience issues and that makes it less desirable. Easy to use the tool and in many places whilst the chain is on the bike. I am saying yes your point is valid, but the convenience and frankly minor over read makes the tool superior as it will get done and more and often.
@govtpeaches2 жыл бұрын
@@Desmo500 Hi there! Thanks for this reply. i think both you and the author of that zero-friction article agree that the ruler method is accurate. I think most of the point in the article and in your note is that the ruler method is hard to do. I don't agree with that -- it is very easy to see 1/16 and 1/32 or 1.5mm and 3.0mm of wear-related elongation over 24 links with corrected vision, and it's soooo simple to do. You can just line up a student's ruler against the chain. I line up the one-inch mark against the leading edge of a plate, and bang, you've checked a nice 24-pin span at the 13 inch mark. None of the 0.1mm that the article mentions. There's an even easier way if you have a retractable measuring tape using the hook at the end on the leading edge of a plate, but I didn't mention it b/c it requires a measuring tape in good condition. I also just tried using a ruler with my phone's magnifying-glass feature, and that was very easy as well. In mm land (lucky!), you might want to put a pen mark so you don't have to convert from 12in every time. In any case, even a beginner to the process can do the measurement in 30 seconds, easy. Also, the rollers wear evenly enough that the pin-to-pin measurement is sufficient and gives an accurate measure of how hard the chain is being on the sprocket teeth. You mention that the roller clearance does get measured twice by the tool, which is magnified since the tool is only measuring a small number of links, but that this doesn't hurt anything b/c you only reject a chain early (I agree that this is the lesser of the two kinds of bad readings), and that the tolerances can be tight or loose. It's been a while, but I know that Regina chains could be nearly out of spec when they were new b/c of large roller inner diameters. Why bother with the inaccuracy? And why not the Shimano tool instead, which has the advantage of being an official-looking tool and doesn't cause the error that the Park tool and others make? We should support the kind of manufacturer that gets things right like that. But really, and I think this is where I have to admit guilt that I am overly passionate about this -- less is more. Most of us already have a ruler on hand, so you don't have to buy anything, and there will be permanently fewer things to deal with. Also, these tips make it all around the world, and in many parts, the money spent on a tool would be better spent on the chain when it's needed. Finally, for the less-bike-focused persons of the world (you know, the type who would likely not an enjoy a dinner party with the two of us as guests), giving a non-tool method might keep them from lugging their machine to the bike shop, which I think is the point of this great video. Have a good season!

Nice graphic.. and good explanations, but the ruler seems to be more accurate than chain wear tool. Just that it's difficult to use. When I last time replaced my chain, the ruler said it's still fine, but the chain wear check tool fell in at 0.5 side... So it was just rollers and pushing that were worn.. I continued to ride, for a while, but then my nerves gave up.. measuring it with ruler every time after ride.. So I took it off and then when I put it side by side with new chain.. it was only 2mm longer maybe. After 3000Km. But because I did not have spare new connecting pin.. or quick link. I Installed the new chain anyways.. better for my nerves too, don't have to measure it so often. I guess worn rollers and pushing only affect shifting, but won't accelerate the wear of cogs and chainrings.. And yes the 11 speed chain last longer than old 8 speed chains did on my previous bike.. probably depends on brand and grade.. I always keep at least one new chain as spare. To have it when needed.. And buy it at winter or something, when they have some barging. ^_^

I have heard that the chain wear tools have that possible flaw where the chain links/pins might not be stretched enough, but the rollers have some play that allows the tool to drop in the chain (a wrong diagnosis of sorts). I haven't experienced it myself, probably because my larger body size and harder pedaling cadence tends to stretch the chain itself more readily. Still, I have been measuring with both a tool and a ruler for sanity check. Both methods have always come to the same results for me so far. I would still replace if the rollers have enough play to allow the wear tool to fit, because the chain could still ride higher on the front/rear sprockets.
@GNX1574 жыл бұрын
Ryan Otte What you said is true. In this video he does not differentiate roller wear from pin and bushing wear. Roller wear does not make the chain longer. Pin and bushing does. The tool he used lets roller wear affect the measurement, which will cause a chain to be replaced early. The Pedro’s chain checker will isolate the pin and bushing wear.

hang that chains , it gives better viev of elongation. cogs and chain rings can be restored by reshaping and re pitching teeth. cog check by tool does not give real situation with cog because , chain skip happen when push hard on pedal, if it skips by small force it means that cog is resurrected long time ago. some tips: if you like to save chain: keep it clean and waxed, drive biggest as posible chain rings in front and rear and do not drive at high angle(diagonally)between front and rear rings- make custom gear ratios and adjust most used ratio/gear to be strait ( i made that mostly use 3 ring on rear and big on front, and that 3 and 4 rings are from ug shimano series that has wide and high teeth), avoid drive on rain and on dirt by the way good video with every important notice about chain wear

I've recently discovered the Oz vids and so now am playing catch up which includes watching vids that were made a few years ago. As many other commenters have noted, this is the best "chain stretch" vid I've found. My couple of comments on the topic. 1) Rather than buy a special measuring tool I use a dial caliper. There are so many applications for a dial caliper that everyone who does any type of mechanic work should have one anyhow. The down side is a couple extra math steps for chain stretch. But, I get to know exactly what % my chain is at so I know when it's getting close to replacement time. 2) I wax my chains by immersion. Plain ole paraffin wax does the job. Key to success is thorough cleaning of the manufacturer petrol lube goo - the wax needs to attach to the bare metal. While in the wax bath I move and flip the chain to alter where the clearance gaps are to get wax in to all hidden surfaces. I don't know a scientifically proven time but I keep my chains in for over ten minutes. I want the steel to get up to the same temperature as the liquified wax. This assures the wax can flow in to the smallest clearances and minimizes how much excess wax uselessly and wastefuly clings to the exterior of the chain when lifting from the bath. It's a fallacy that waxing is too much time and effort. The time I spend on prep and waxing comes back in multiples with easier bike cleaning after rides, no black marks to clean from skin or clothes, and many more miles of chain life. I do typically remove clean, and re-immerse in wax at about half life. Even including that I still am spending less time a year on chains than I did in my preceding decades with petrol grime. It really matters to me since I do all maintenance on both pairs of MTB and expedition bikes that my wife and I have.

In my opinion, you should be able to get at least 10-15,000km out of a chain. This is achieved by regularly cleaning and re-lubing the chain. BUT, I also think you should not use an ultrasonic cleaner, soak the chain to clean it or anything else which would completely remove all lubricant from the chain. I know people who used to soak their chains and could only get less than 5000km out of their chains. I only ever clean my chain by wiping it with a rag and sometimes with a little degreaser on the rag and my current chain has lasted for around 8,000- 10,000km and is still going fine. I never experience the chain skipping even though I change chainrings and cassettes regularly to use different sizes.

Did the same thing on my old 3x8 drivetrain without EVER breaking a chain. Same with 9sps. can't compare with 10spd, but the setup to 11spd feels really really fragile. but on the other hand, IF you shift properly(which i have to constantly think about) 11spd chains are just fine
