Measuring the chain wear

The bicycle chain wears out over time and can even break sooner or later in extreme cases. Due to the load when pedalling and the skewing when shifting gears, the chain becomes longer and longer and the play between the individual links increases. Therefore, you should regularly check whether a so-called "health insurance" is already in place. There is "elongation" of your chain. Here you will find everything you need to measure and replace your chain.
