Review by NB BikerReviewed 10/9/2020by NB BikerCycling EnthusiastSan Antonio, TXSimple money saverI had been replacing chains on an annual basis just because "it's time". I read an article that said we could be wasting money replacing chains to early or causing damage because of waiting too long, so I picked up one of these wear indicators. Easy to use and probably saved me a little money because it shows that the chain I would have replaced is still in proper tolerance.

Review by DylanMReviewed 3/10/2022by DylanMCycling EnthusiastPortland, Oregon0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great way to Waiting too long to replace your chain is a great way to destroy a cassette. This simple tool makes it easy to check your chain stretch, so you can avoid that expensive outcome. Park tools are totally trustworthy, so I'm glad I found this. I'm giving one to each of my kiddos so they can keep their bikes running smoothly.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/31/2015by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastDallas, TexasNot good enoughChecking one's chain is a great idea since in the long run, it saves money. But just buy the Park Tool CC-2 Chain Checker Tool. It is a bit more expensive but much more accurate and provides better wear indication.

Review by Cesar4Reviewed 6/20/2022by Cesar4maspethPerfection This thing is super handy. I had to buy one because I wanted to keep track of how much wear my chain has and when I need to replace it myself instead of taking into a shop.

Review by NorCal RiderReviewed 4/25/2015by NorCal RiderCycling Enthusiast1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Easy to useI finally broke down and purchased one of these. I usually replace my chain every 2000 miles. My current chain is approaching that mileage. I checked it with the CC-3.2 and discovered it is no way close to being worn out. I will save money in the long run.
Nice thing to have in your tool box.

Review by Dave AzReviewed 4/10/2015by Dave AzPhoenixSimple to use, gets used oftenVery easy to use, just takes a second to evaluate the chain for wear. Because it's so simple it actually gets used. Seems expensive for what it is but preventive maintenance is cheaper than replacing the cassette

Review by SixSevenReviewed 4/23/2020by SixSevenCycling EnthusiastNE FloridaThis simple tool yields critical results. I've elevated from committed recreational rider to dreams of the banging bars in the peloton (not really). I've upgraded my bike and mileage efforts, so keeping my drive train healthy came along with my commitment.
This tool does the trick for all of my bikes. Simple and easy to use - BTD is a benefactor of my need for chains and the occasional cassette. I'll provide the labor.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/24/2014by AnonymousCycling Enthusiastdesert2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Easy to use ... best way to know when to replace chain.I relube my bike chains every 100 hrs. The bike shop had me replacing the chain annually but when measuring chain wear using this tool I discovered that the chains showed minimal wear ... I could never come close to engaging the 0.5% wear position. I've subsequently started doing my own bike maintenance and use this tool to ensure that my chain wear never becomes excessive.

Review by PortlandJayReviewed 10/31/2013by PortlandJayCompetitive RacerNorcal3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Essential for every tool boxIt doesn't get any easier to use. Just slide it into the chain and you'll know instantly if your chain needs to be replaced or not. It has two sides one for really worn out and one for almost worn out which allows you to plan ahead.
