Use a chain breaker tool to cut the chain to length
When you buy a chain, it is always too long and needs to be made to length. To achieve the right length, the chain needs to be broken, for which we use a chain breaker tool (or chain rivet tool).

Tips for chain fitting
When installing or removing this chain, it is useful to break tension on the section where you want to break the chain. To break tension, you can take an old spoke and make a hook, or use the hook already incorporated in some chain breaker tools. Put the hook into the section where you want to work on the chain, and this takes the tension off the chain locally.

Check for chain wear on a regular basis
Use a chain checker tool to check if your current chain is worn out, so you can replace it in time. Click here to go to our range of chain wear indicators.
