Using missing link pliers
This chain comes standard with a missing link. The addition of this missing link makes mounting the chain easy, but it's also ideal for when you want to give your bike a deep clean. To open the missing link you need a missing link pliers, which you can find here.

Cut to length with a chain breaker
When you buy a chain, it's always too long. That means that you always need to cut it to length, and you do this using a chain breaker (also called a chain rivet tool). You can view our selection of chain breakers here. Some multi-tools contain a chain breaker. Make sure that you select a chain breaker for the right speed chain though - the size of the pins is different according to the speed of the chain.

Tips for fitting your chain
When fitting or removing this chain it's useful to remove some tension from the chain at the point where you want to break it or close the link. You can do this by making a hook from an old spoke, but some chain breaker tools actually include a handy hook precisely for this purpose. You use it to hook the part of the chain you want to work on, pulling the tension off it. You can read a detailed explanation of how to replace your chain in this blog.

Measure chain wear often
A chain wear tool makes it easy to see when your chain is worn, so that you can replace it timeously. You can find chain wear tools here.

Hvor ofte skal jeg rense min cykel? Regelmæssig rengøring sikrer, at dit materiale holder længere, og at du kan nyde din cykel længere. Hvor ofte du skal rense, afhænger af de vejrforhold, du kører i. Cykler du i alle slags vejr, eller går du kun ud, når solen skinner? Det påvirker alt sammen mængden af slid, og nogen skal rense deres cykel mere end andre. Brug nedenstående skema som vejledning:

Oktober til marts:
• Rens hver 200 km
• Skyl efter hver tur
