Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is the best chain wear gauge i have seen. Beats having to hunch or sit down to read the others from the side. This tool checks the wear on that pin by measuring the distance between pins.

I am a 50+ year biker and this is a great tool. Would recommend every cyclist to own one. It doesn't matter what you ride - folding commuter, full-suspension downhill bomber, recumbent, or some frankenbike of your own creation.



Cons

Park tools generally, but this one is a bust. The cc-2 checker pushes against two different sides of the roller. This causes a bad chain to measure as good. Does work on my non campy chains, but does not work on my campy record 10 speed chains.

Highlights

Quality


So far this is sturdy and gives an accurate reading.


High quality park tool for measuring bicycle chain wear.


Do not apply too much pressure cause you can bend the pins and they are not replaceable.


Set the gauge at 0, insert between chain links, adjust until it stops, then read it.

Price


Expensive for what it is, but would purchase again (if lost).


A bit pricey but accurate (tested the old and new chains) and easy to read.

Packaging/appearance


The packaging it came in looked new and sealed but the actual tool has signs of wear so who knows if it's new or not.

Competitiveness


I have way too many chain measurement tools, including another park model, a pedro's model, and an old nashbar knockoff.


Compared to the simple pivot point and pointer of the cheaper models, much better.


There are cheaper alternatives and i'm sure they work quite well.

    This tool tells me when to replace the chain

    Replacing a worn chain will save driveline components and money


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I ride an e mountain bike which puts a lot more torque on a chain so they wear out quicker


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its smaller than you would think but made like a piece of jewelry


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Looks like anodized billet aluminum


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Only thing i would change is the tool reading window is unnecessary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The scale could be read from the side simply by displacing the scale rather than looking thru the iddybiddy window


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This tool takes the guess work out of checking chain condition
