I watched a video from Zero Friction Cycling where he tested a bunch of chain checker tools.
The original video can be found here.
Only a few were accurate, and the Park Tool CC-3.2 check that I've been using for a few years now, seems to be one of the bad ones.
Today, I decided to get the CC-4 (the Shimano checker they recommended isn't available in Canada, apparently), and rechecked the chains on my bike.
It went from "beyond 0.5mm wear" with the CC-3.2 to "not even close to 0.5mm" on the CC-4.
I guess I figured out why my chains weren't lasting long... according to the CC-3.2. ๐ค๐ญ
What chain checker tool(s) are you guys using, and have you used any that were just flat out wrong?
Yeah I saw that too. I don't have much experience but I don't see why the # speeds matter -- the sprockets have the same shape so I would think a worn chain would cause exactly the same wear regardless of how many speeds?
