JXV Posted April 23, 2016 Share Bought a park tool chain checker...now I wish hadn't...the tool just drops into the chain on the trek on both sides [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26] ... There is an up side...my other 3 bikes the tool doesn't drop in on either side [emoji3] I suppose you clock up the mileage on a second hand bike you purchase...things have got to got to start wearing out [emoji57]Those checkers tend to overestimate the chain wear. If it indicates wear by dropping in then remove chain and measure by hand for an accurate result. The chain checkers are only good for a quick screening test. I have one too. Mine reads 0.5% when the actual wear is 0.25% Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted April 23, 2016 Share Those Park Tool checkers are great, only negative is don't drop them or throw them haphazardly into a tool box, they are susceptible to bending, ie be careful with it and check it is flat from time to time. As to their accuracy, they do the job, tell you when you are starting to hit the danger area, I'd rather change my chain earlier rather than later and that's all I'm interested in.

splat Posted April 24, 2016 Share The only baggies my hubby wears.. he has 5 pairs.. and 1 exactly like this one.I got them at the old price R650, so were fantastic value for money.Compared to other baggies, they are still well priced at R750. They felt comfortable and I forgot I was wearing baggies for most of the ride.I would definitely recommend them. Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
