Even the strongest climber in the world is pushing their bike uphill if their chain breaks. But it’s not just breaks. Chain wear and tear can also slow your ride to a crawl.

Your chain enables the transfer of power from your pedals to your wheels affecting power output. When your chain becomes worn over time, it’ll cause problems with shifting and potentially snap. A chain wear tool will determine the distance between the links (“stretch” that occurs over time). If it’s too stretched, you’ll need to replace it.

Chain length varies relative to the speed system of the drivetrain (10, 11 or 12 speed). It should be long enough to shift from the largest chainring to the largest cassette cog without getting stuck or slipping. If it’s too long, it’ll cause more wear and tear to your group-set. When buying a new chain, you can use your old chain as a guide to determine the correct length.
