Review on ๐Ÿ” Looking for a Reliable Chain Wear Indicator? Check out SHIMANO TL-CN42 - One Size Fits All in Silver! by Joseph Scalea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Apparently one of the few accurate

There are many tools for measuring chain wear but these Shimano tools seem to be the only ones that "accurately" measure chain wear. OK, that's enough for me. I have the default park tool and now this one. This allows for a little more wear before replacement is recommended. There's plenty of room in my toolbox for these advanced tools. Got a great price from Revain and have used this tool many times on my various bikes. I can't help but use both tools to measure and compare them. Yes, I would recommend it, but if I were to only buy one, I would buy a 'regular' wear tool (cheaper) and replace the used chains a bit sooner (minimizing wear on the cassette and sprockets). Much luck.

Pros
  • High precision laser cut design
Cons
  • Low repairability
