How to use this tool.
Place your bike on your workshop stand (for greater comfort) or against a wall.
Insert the left-hand side of the tool into a link on your chain (make sure the small hook is well inserted into the link), then lower the right-hand side onto the chain to read the result.
Once it has been properly installed on your chain, the chain wear indicator should lie as flat as possible.

How do you interpret the result?
If the tip of the tool (the right-hand part) does not go beyond the line above the "OK" sign, then your chain and cassette are in perfect running order.
If you press the right-hand tip of the tool in between the 2 lines of the "1", then you need to change your chain.
If you press the right-hand point of the tool beyond the line at the start of part "2", then you need to change your chain and cassette or freewheel.

How often should you use the tool?
It all depends on how often you ride.
We recommend that you check the condition of your chain once a month to ensure that your gears shift smoothly and that you don't wear out your cassette or freewheel prematurely, so that you don't have to change them more quickly than necessary.
