Assembly
Cut to length with a chain breakerWhen 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.
User tips
How often should I wash my bike? Regular washing will keep your bike in good nick. It ensures that the parts on your bike last longer so that you can enjoy cycling happiness for longer. How often you should wash your bike is largely dependent on what sort of weather conditions you ride in. Are you always out there, come rain or shine? Or are you strictly a fair-weather cyclist? It all has an influence on the degree of wear on bike parts, and some of us have to wash our bikes more regularly than others. Refer to the plan below as a general guideline: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

Perfect chain on a mountain bike
I only ride this chain because it can be ridden for a very long time. Up to 5000km if you keep it clean. No rust as with cheaper chains.

So far so good; fits and runs perfectly!
After the original chain on my Cube wore out quite quickly and very quickly kept running off my sprockets, I bought an 11-speed Shimano HG-X11 Dura Ace / XTR chain with the theory that it would have more clearance. In the same theory, this should fit, but the chain started clattering considerably after a few months. I could not find a 10-speed XTR chain, so therefore ordered the best alternative. It did disappoint me that it did not use the missing link, but an old-fashioned snap pin, so I have now only been able to use the pricey Shimano pliers to take the off. I hope I will still be positive about this chain in a year's time!
