How To Keep Your Bike Chain Alive?
Bicycle chain abrasion is an unavoidable problem when we ride a bicycle. Bicycles mainly rely on chain drive to maintain power. Bike chain drive is simple and light in structure, convenient for maintenance and it has stable transmission. It is a regular job for bicycle owners to clean the chain regularly and check for wear.
Which bike chain tools are necessary for routine maintenance?
Bike Chain Ruler
Bicycle chains are usually replaced every 2000 kilometers. Some riders also said, “the so-called caliper measure and change the chain is for professional drivers or high-end players. Ordinary players can ride until the flywheel slips, about 15000 to 25000 kilometers. At that time, the flywheel chain can be changed together.”
The chain ruler is a simple tool to measure whether the chain is worn. Conversely, if you don’t care about always getting the best performance, you can completely ignore the chain until you are sure to replace it. The use of a bike chain ruler is very simple: clamp the chain ruler on the chain. If the chain is worn, the tool will fall into the link and be placed flush along the chain. Otherwise, the tool will be above it.

Bike Chain Brush
The bike chain brush has various shapes and can clean multiple parts of the chain. For example, a hook brush is used to clean flywheel dirt. A hard short brush to clean stubborn stains. A long-hair brush can clean the deep area of the bike chain, and other difficult to clean parts.

Bike Chain Cleaner
The chain cleaner is used with chain oil to deeply clean the inside of the chain and ensure the lubrication and functionality of the chain.
Bike Chain Breaker
If the bike chain is worn out, we need to use a bike chain breaker to change the bike chain. The quality of the bike chain breaker is greatly affected by the material. The material of the thimble is very important. When removing a single chain with a chain cutter, put the chain into the chain cutter, align the thimble with the pin, and adjust the fastening nut to enter the pinhole and push out the pin.
