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.
October to March:
• Wash every 200 km
• Rinse after every ride
• Dry and lube the chain after every ride
• Let the bike dry at room temperature
April to September:
• Wash every 300 km
• Rinse after a ride in the rain
• Dry and lube the chain after rinsing or washing
• Let the bike dry at room temperature

A lovely necklace at a great price
I’ve now used it intensively for about 300 km and it’s still in one piece; I reckon other reviewers were just unlucky
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
A sturdy chain at a reasonable price
This is the third time I’ve used this chain. The shifting on the Shimano GRX 2x12 is precise and smooth. The chain runs smoothly and, thanks to the coating, is not very prone to surface rust. Even with wax, the chain easily withstands rainy rides where you’ve forgotten to clean it afterwards – the original Shimano chain, by contrast, had already started to show slight signs of rust after just 12 hours.

Smooth-running chain, but too weak for heavy mtb use.
Then you find yourself in the middle of the forest, after a total of +/-300km of chain straight in half. After repair, 1 round another break.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Definitely look further
Chain does not even have time to rust because it is already broken by then. Chain broken several times in various places. Repaired each time with a quick link and then manages to break again in another place. Today even at 2 different places in the chain. Absolutely not worth the money.
