🧼Best kept secret about bicycle maintenance🔧

Measure your chain📏. Chain manufacturers say you should get 1000-3000 miles out of a chain, depending on riding conditions and how you maintain your bike.

As your chain wears, it lengthens. We use a chain checker tool to gauge how much your chain has lengthened(pictured). When your chain reaches 0.5% it’s time for a new chain. At 0.75% the wear has started to extend to other parts and repairs can get costly. (The bike pictured needed $250 of parts instead of a $20 chain)

If you haven’t checked your chain recently, stop by the shop. We don’t charge to measure your chain, and we can do it immediately.

Want to measure your chain yourself? For $15-$20 we can sell you the tool.

Check your chain today and avoid costly repairs in the future.
