Chain link counter Cyclus Tools universal 1-12-speed (720164)

When replacing a worn bicycle chain, it is important to determine its number of links. A chain stretches considerably as it wears, so an old chain and a new chain of the same length may have different numbers of links. Measuring the chain length alone is not sufficient; it is better to replace it with a chain that has exactly the same number of links.

• Compatible with bicycle chains from BMX (single-speed) up to 12-speed.
• Includes a stick for marking a chain link.

How to use

• 1. Place the link counter on the chain and set it to zero.
• 2. Mark the chain link next to the counter.
• 3. Rotate the chain one full turn, ending with the marked link in the same spot.
• 4. Read the number of chain links.
• 5. Use the link counter to measure the chain. A new chain with the same number of links will be shorter than the old, worn chain.
