❓ Common Questions

Q: How do I know when a chain needs replacement?

A: Measure chain elongation with a chain wear gauge or ruler. A standard chain should have a specific pitch-per-link. Chains are typically replaced when elongation exceeds 3%. Visual signs include hooked or worn teeth on mating sprockets, and the chain riding up on sprocket teeth instead of seating in the valleys.
