Parktool- Chain wear indicator

A worn chain shifts poorly and wears sprockets at an accelerated rate. The CC-3.2 is a go/no-go gauge designed to accurately indicate when a chain reaches .5% and .75% “stretch,” the points at which most chain manufacturers suggest replacement. For 9 and 10-speed chains, replace the chain just as the gauge fits the 0.75% side fits flat into the chain. For 11 and 12-speed chains, replace the 0.5% side fits. The CC-3.2 is long, accurate, and features permanent measurement markings.
