Just halved in price from £5.99 to £3. Every cyclist needs this to check chain wear, absolutely essential bit of kit and so cheap. I have ordered a spare.

If you ride of a chain (cheap) which has stretched it will destroy your cassette (expensive).

    Is it really necessary? Could you just pull the chain on the chainring and check if it is loose?

    This is to check wear in the chain rollers not tension (which the mech would pick up). For £3 this can save you hundreds and a worn chain creates excess wear on the cassette and chain rings

    I bought one of these silverline checkers and it rusted super quickly - I always keep an eye on maintaining my chains, I didnt realise I'd need to do the same with a chain checker

    You need the chain wear indicator tool wear indicator tool. An advanced piece of kit.

    If that's what you use to measure it I wouldn't make a comment about it

    I have one of these, though it isn't particularly accurate imo. I've used it frequently to check chain wear and last few times as soon as the 0.75 mark is hit I've changed the chain, but found the cassette has already worn too much so the new chain slips slightly on the most used 2 sprockets.
    Now when I'm checking I force the tool into the chain rollers properly (rather than drop it in), if you can get it in using moderate force at the 0.75 mark, I now change the chain immediately (edited)

    Great bit of kit. The last thing you want is the chain to snap, and you injure your knee or similar

    In my experience a snapped chain is nothing to do with wear.
    They need to be incredibly worn (to the extent they literally do not grab the sprockets) for them to suddenly snap.

    If you need this tool, you shouldn't have this tool !
    Either you know, or you pay someone who does....

    FYI if you're running 11 speed and above you need to be changing your chain at the 0.5 mark.

    An essential piece of kit but if you have a decent bike, get a better tool such as the Shimano TL-CN42
