Park Tool Chain Checker CC 4 Review

So I have a CC 3.2 chain adjuster that I can put in good chains, it has at least two levers so you can tighten the chain a bit. Necklace for good reading. I like chain checkers - fast and convenient. but honestly replace it with a good quality line.

This tool is pretty easy to use once you know how. You can search google or look at the diagrams on the back of the box. Search "CC-4 Chain Checker" on YouTube and there's a pretty clear video showing how to use it. Pros: Lightweight tool that (hopefully) works. the job.Con: No: I trust that blindly, so I hope it doesn't work out over time.

Typical Park quality you pay for. It is very accurate on both my Shimano and SRAM chain. This is really important in SRAM Eagle drivetrains where chain tolerances are more important. It's better than the old park tool that just sits on the reel and slides like a pass/fail tool. This tool should last for many years.

I have a cheaper stamped metal chain to test the chain and I'm sure it's 'good' but I wanted to get a second one so i can keep one next to my trainer and the others in my bike tool box. The quality of this parking tool is much better (as expected). First, it's definitely machined, so the tolerances should be a lot better. Second, it's longer, so a better choice of chain links is required.

A tape measure helps check chain tension, but it's a messy and messy procedure. Also, you have to be right next to the band to see what's going on. My eyes aren't what they used to be. With this special tool, you insert it, lower it as instructed, and you're done. If the lug drops too far, it's time to buy a new chain.

Very handy for checking the circuit and determining if a replacement is needed. I was surprised to find that the chain on one of my bikes was stretched enough to cause wear in the drivetrain and I also had to replace the smallest chainring and cassette in the 2x10 system. I would like to receive this sooner to avoid damage to other components.

This is a good tool, easy to use and durable. As most of you reading this know, it is important to replace your chain as it is exceeding its tolerances. This usually happens after around 2000 miles, but your results may vary depending on riding conditions and how often you clean and lubricate the chain. If the chain is not maintained and replaced, it will damage the rear cassette and sprockets, which are quite expensive to replace. Parking sensors are expensive, but you should use this sensor…
