Default Re: Chain wear

Morning old Horse.

The best way of determining how much wear a chain has, is to hold the chain tight by pushing the bottom run upwards with your left hand, & try to pull the chain off the sprocket at the 3 o'clock position with your right hand. Any movement suggests that the chain is starting to wear, if as Baph says you can expose the bottom of the teeth it's definitely on it's way out.

Cheers.
