Have gotten to the point where I want to do more of my bike maintenance myself. This is an excellent video full of great info. Your delivery of info to "common guys" like me is spot on. Just GREAT stuff... soooo very helpful!
you're using the park tool chain checker wrong. you dont set a value first and then insert it to see if it fits. you just insert it at 0 and then push on the dial until it stops. and that tells you how worn it is. the whole benefit of the tool is that it shows you exactly how worn the chain is immediately without needing to remove the tool and reinsert it multiple times.
The Park CC-2 is not accurate even when used correctly. The CC-4, Pedro’s checker + are better options. The Shimano TL-CN42 is one of the better checkers available. CC-4 for SRAM flat tops
I have used the 12" ruler method for over 40 years, never even considered buying a dedicated chain checker, but I agree that the fixed version w/o moving parts is good enough.
That's it for my old chain - definitely time for it to hang on a wall :)

Hey ,Good job on the video. Straight forward to the point.....thanks
thank you providing tutorial.
Very clear. Thanks for the video.
Just a question. What is the purpose of the 2 holes on the side of the tool. Do you or anyone else knows know, for sure I don't.
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video upload

It is so easy to use a simple ruler but yeah the bike hand tool is super nice for the price
Isn't 1.0 stretch already too much and sprockets have started to wear too? I hear experts say that 0.75 is the "last chance" to replace chain.
I don’t understand why the ruler method works. Aren’t you really measuring the wear on the inner rollers of the chain?
I have an expensive chain checker and I never check my chain. Me spending money on something = me never using that thing.
😂
spending $30 on a new chain is better than spending hundreds to replace the entire drivetrain lol
