About dirty chains, i had an incident when i was working in a shop. This guy came in with a problem that his chain was jumping but only on the lowest gear. I started diagnosing the problem and found out that his dìrty chain was in fact so dirty that the gap between the 1st and 2nd sprocket was completely full of dirt, it was compacted because of the chain's pressure. The chain was sitting only half the depth of the teeth in the sprocket. As soon as i cleaned the space between the sprockets everything worked like a charm.

That happened to me 2 weeks ago from leaves. 11T was slipping out just as you say mid ride, ended up just using a small stick to remove the leaves between the 11T and 13T and back to normal. Before I had a look I was scared but just no place for stuff to go between those smallest gears.

Works just fine for a while, but when it's worn out.... I find if the roller falls out of the middle of the chain it won't hold. It's probably time for a new chain anyway.

When I get a new chain, I keep the quick link from the old chain on my bike with a tube, tire levers, etc. Even though they are "single use", I figure it will get me (or a riding buddy) home.

11:15 found this out the hard way, spent 2 days trying to figure out why my gears where shifting so badly after replacing the chain... saw it jump on the second day and was beyond relieved but also fuming at my stupidity. DON'T DO A ME!!! haha

watching someone talk about how cool a "chain checker" is at 2 am .....Think I have a problem ?

I know everyone's situation is different and everyone values their time and finances differently. But I do a lot of miles as an endurance XC rider, So I see value in owning 2 chains (per bike) and cooking my chains in Wax, cooking in wax is by far the BEST way to get lubricant into the rollers, and no dust or grit is attracted to the outside of your chain or rollers. Usually I can get 200km of wet riding or up to 500km of dry riding, before changing a chain then every month or so I thoroughly wash both chains in petrol. Then cook them in candle wax for about 20mins. As for longevity, my last chain using regular lube lasted 1300km, the 2 chains I am currently running have combined 3500km, and are at about 0.3 wear. Also on the reusing connectors, I reuse them, never had one fail, but after about 5 times I might replace them because the "click" close does not seem as strong, and twice I've had the pin fall out of eagle joining links.

I actually messed up a few days ago when I installed a new chain and I wasn't paying attention while passing the chain through the rear derailleur and like you showed I ended up passing it over one of those tabs. I then noticed that for some reason I couldn't shift into my highest gear. I was just adjusting my derailleur earlier today because of this and kept hearing a clicking noise no matter how much I adjusted it, finally after about 15 minutes I noticed what i had done. I am installing a whole new groupset on Monday so I'm definitely going to pay attention this time.

Should have made this tutorial years back. I had to learn this by trial and error and watching more than a dozen other vids. Well done Doddy!

If you plan to use a wax based lube like squirt you DO have to degrease!

Moreover most of the chains are covered with such a sticky grease that it's going to form grind paste during 1st ride. My colleague following chain producer recommendations didn't clean the chain and after a couple of of MTB racing wore the chain to .5 on new xtr cassette. I've been always cleaning up the chain before waxing it and my chains have barely .2 of wear after riding 100s of hours in various conditions including winter, mostly XC, where you have 1000s gear shifts per race/ride! Using xx1 and ybn chains in various colors (to distinguish which chain is for what bike and what chainring) and 1295 cassettes. I am a bit tempted to buy one of these fancy KMC chains and follow their advice to not to clean the chain before 1st use. Of course i won't be able to use wax. I am wondering if they will reimburse me the cost of premature wear of the drivetrain if it will happen (and it will for sure - check test from zfc!).

I've also always re-used chain links and never had an issue ever. The single-use thing is a wasteful scam. Nothing breaks on them when you unclip them, nothing is damaged and they are just fine to re-use.

If you re-use your quick-links a lot like I do (I wax my chain so it's a weekly thing) you run into the risk of your chain falling apart when going down a trail or snapping open as you pedal or worse case scenario, snapping as you put power on the pedals standing up, that can lead to very serious injury. Still, you can re-use them safely if you follow some minimal precautions: 1)Do not re-use an old chainlink with a new chain. Even if it looks fine, don't. This is more a matter of wear and tear, the old link will have the same wear as the pins on the old chain and you will have a wonky new chain with that one slightly longer link that will cause unnecessary wear on your drivetrain, even noise. New chain? new link. If the old one feels good don't discard it, keep it in your emergency kit, give it away to a mate in need. 2)New links are a bitch to break open, a tool like in the video is nice but you can open them using a piece of brake cable, after 8 or so times they can be broken using just your fingers, this is fine, you can continue to use them dozens of times more. 3)You should inspect your links every single time carefully after they become easy to break by hand. When they loose their bite that means they are old and you should have a replacement on you at all times. You want to look at the pins, any sign of pitting or trenching and the link should be discarded, this can take a very long time to show up, several months usually (remember, I break my links 4 times per month minimum), your tolerance with this should be next to zero. 4)Before undoing your chain for whatever reason, give it "the dance" at the link area, that is, to bend the chain sideways 5-10 times in an attempt to make the pin slip sideways at the quick-link, apply some force, not much. It should not do that, it should behave the same as the rest of the pins and stay in place, if the pin is gonna come loose it will do it under not much force at all. If it does, replace it. (I've seen this happen once in 5 years, pitting happens first). You can successfully wear out a chain using 3-4 links, and again, that's coming from someone that soaks his chain in a wax pot every Saturday.

Thank you very much. One of the few videos actually mentioning degreasing a new chain and what to do. Ive seen so many guides/tutorials where they just put on the new chain and maybe show how to measure the correct length but noone every states what to do with the factory grease.

Excellent information as always. Good job!

The best video I have ever seen on Chain maintenance and so much information..A+++

A bad chain break happened to me just the other day. I shortened my chain prior to riding and I thought that having it too short may have caused this - but after watching this video I'm now thinking it's because I re-used one of the pins when rejoining the chain! In any case, when the chain snapped, it somehow threw the derailleur into the spokes. You can guess how that ended.

Hi Doddy, thanks again for your informative videos, much appreciated. I live in Australia and ride where the terrain in mainly sandstone. I’ve found the factory grease attracts sand and grit like bees to a honey pot and results in a very gritty drivetrain in no time. Personally I’ve found the best solution is to completely degrease the chain to remove all grease and then use a good quality dry or wet lube depending on the weather.

@jramirezar

I had the same problem, no matter what the weather or terrain is, with KMC chains, the factory lubricant can converts to a glue and impregnates everything in such anoying way, that it is very difficult to wipe off, I had to clean mi cassette and chainrings with a microfiber cloth and alcohol; and for the chain, hot water and hard degreasing soap for a long time... Never again leave the factory lubricant on any chain...

Love the blue and black ...

Been using the same chain for 8 years. And before you say I don’t ride my bike think again. When I purchased my Specialized full suspension MTB new many years years ago I was riding every weekend. It all comes down to chain maintenance. This translates to cleaning/washing, drying, and re-lubricating it frequently.

Nice vlogging guys really helpful

I just love those KMC DLC chains. I have one in orange/black and one in yellow/black... They are good lookin and even better performing.

Helpful!

I used to rotate 3 chains, until it could not be done anymore. My old bike really wore down the drivetrain faster than my new one, way too flexy. So this helped alot. This also makes it easier to swap wheels with cassette already no skipping chain. I've not done it on my new bike yet, cus I rode way too little do wear it down, hope to ride more this year. Another thing to remember is lube can get too old, stiff, sticky and collect dust, grime, so if you let bike stand too long chain might struggle to move properly, it will reduce shifting performance. So don't let it stand for a week without cleaning and relubing. Never leave over lubed chain.

That KMC chain tool is brilliant. Had it for years, the first pin is still going strong and it has another, just flip it.

i used to work for a bike part wholesaler. getting a shipment of chains was always interesting. a tiny 2-3foot high pallet weighing 500lbs. boxes were tiny but 50lbs.

Nice New Set Doddy

I'm happy to see an Orbea Occam there. I just got one of those bad boys...

I tried for the first couple of years with my latest bike (I have only owned and ridden a single bike at a time)... to keep it clean and shiny all the time, immaculate. I obsessed over the chain to the point of cleaning it during rides. This is all while averaging over 7K miles a year, 20 to 120 mile rides year around. That means for me, living in the Pacific Northwest, 4 to 6 months of riding in the rain and on muddy wet surfaces. I have a Rohloff Speedhub mounted on a full-suspension touring bike coupled to a BBSHD mid-drive and it's amazing. It's broken me to ever owning another bike without a Rohloff. The mid-drive and the Speedhub are made for each other, they go together like lamb and tuna fish. @ The 1st year I rode I changed the chain 8 times... whenever it got to 0.5% wear as tested with a Park tool. After another 25K miles and 4 years riding I now wipe the chain clean daily and swap my chains every 6 months. Drop the chain, flip or replace the Rohloff gear, mount a new chain, and ride. Always having a straight chain line makes it amazingly easy to maintain. 11 Jul 19 - 71 miles w/front panniers & trailer on less than 15Ah... 1/2 the packs capacity. www.relive.cc/view/g37290970278 photos.app.goo.gl/RD1NrDPCZQuHpWja9

Don't forget the easy way to check chain length without a specific chain tool; with a steel rule measure the links up to 12" (brand new chain), if the chain measures 12 1/8" then it's knackered. Replace before it reaches that point and you may get away with not changing the cassette at the same time. EDIT: I've just found this other alternative method on a forum I visit and have copied it: I'm happy to use a 12" ruler but I know some folk are not happy with this method and would prefer some kind of unequivocal measurement. Below I have written up a method which might fit the bill. All you need is a set of 6" digital Vernier calipers (typical cost £12-20 for a basic version) which many cyclists will have already or find very useful for other purposes. Step 1. Zero the caliper. Whilst taking a between rollers measurement (BRM), set the caliper to zero in the 'inches' range. Step 2. Take the measurement. Slide the caliper out to an indicated ~4.9" and then take a measurement between the LH roller as before and the appropriate RH roller. Step 3. Do the calculation. An unworn chain should measure almost exactly 5.000" on this test, (but +/- 0.005" isn't unusual even on new chain) Any excess over that represents pin wear in the chain. Thus a 1% worn chain will measure 5.050", and a 0.5% worn chain will measure 5.025", and so on. The chain below is (with the caliper re-zeroed for that chains BRM value) +0.043" so is almost 0.9% worn. Checks and balances: There are additional checks that you can do if you want; 1) Check uniformity of roller wear. With the calipers zeroed as step 1, you can check other roller gaps. With 1/8" chain using most verniers you can check any chain gap, but with derailleur chain you can only check between outer side plate links (as per the photos) unless you modify your verniers by grinding the internal jaws to make them slimmer than normal. Most worn chains I have checked thus show remarkably uniform roller spacing, but if a (singlespeed) chain is used on even tooth count rings/sprockets, every other link may wear differently. 2) Check uniformity of chain wear. You can repeat steps 1-3 as many times as you can be bothered to do along the chain length. If the chain you are measuring shows uniform BRM then you can take measurements without having to re-zero the caliper each time. 3) check roller wear. In the image below you can see the difference in BRM as measured using a short length of unused chain of the same type (KMC 'inox'). You can see that the roller wear is ~0.024" different between new and used chains. Had this been included in the main wear measurement, this arguably would have constituted a >50% error. Even new chains show a variation of +/- 0.25mm (~0.010") in this measurement, due to small variations in roller OD and bushing clearances. So there you have it; I think this method may be a both simple and effective one for keeping track of chain wear. Having said that, I don't think it adds much to the results you can get by simply using a ruler, but not everyone is happy to do that. The vernier method arguably has a flaw (which it shares with all commercial chain checkers, pretty much) in that it relies on the rollers being free to move in the normal way that occurs when the chain is in use. For various reasons this might not always happen. NB I have taken these measurements on short lengths of loose chain, but there it is probably best if the measurements are taken whilst the chain is still on the bike. For example if the chain is very dirty, whilst the chain is still in its usual position, (just used) the rollers will be able to assume their usual positions without difficulty, but once the chain is removed or otherwise disturbed, dirt in the rollers may affect the measurement. For this reason, some folk advocate cleaning the chain before you measure it. If you are going to remove it and clean it anyway, why not.... but if you are not, it means that you will regularly waste your time cleaning a chain that is actually headed for the bin.... cheers

You must have all day to think of ways to waste your time, spend $8 ( for a chain tool) and be done with all the nonsense, always measure chain wear with chain under slight tension, easily done with any chain checker, nearly impossible with your method, unless you want to make it a group project. This would be considered a measurement that is not hyper-critical such as derailleur cable tension or front derailleur height and attitude. A slight wear is that, just slight wear, the bike still performs as it should and it's simply telling you to stay aware of this issue and get a new chain when and if the tool indicates you should.

Hi Doddy. I noticed that you you mentioned about the third hand to hold the chain! You didn't see or mention about the other side of the chain checker which also used for that.

Good interesting effort. Would anybody recommend how waxing with PTFE for MTB's?

The metal chain link pliers are preferable. I blew one of these plastic ones apart the other day and the link didn't even budge.

5:20 Warn rollers don't change the pitch, and are not a problem. It's the wear on the links and pins where the link rotates around the pin that results in the increase in pitch.
