Product Description

Park Tool CC-4 Bicycle Chain Checker in use

Park Tool CC-4 Bicycle Chain Checker

A worn bicycle chain causes poor shifting performance and and actually wear out drivetrain components, causing more expensive problems. The Park Tool CC-4 Chain Checker is a drop-in style gauge that measures bicycle chain wear. The laser cut CC-4 accurately measures a long section of chain and strategically comes in contact with the chain in three places, quickly and easily taking the guesswork out of determining when chain replacement is necessary. The tool works on any 5 to 12-speed derailleur chain (including SRAM AXS and Shimano XTR 12-speed chains) and is designed to accurately indicate when a chain reaches 0.5% and 0.75% wear, the points at which most chain manufacturers suggest replacement.

The CC-4 provides measurements at the two most common wear intervals recommended for chain replacement on multi-speed bicycles:

  • <0.5% Wear - acceptable on all derailleur and single-speed drivetrains.
  • ≥0.5% Wear - 11-to-12-speed chains should be replaced at or before this measurement
  • ≥0.75% Wear - 5-to-10-speed chains should be replaced at or before this measurement

Park Tool offers several options for measuring chain wear, depending on your needs and drivetrain components:

Parktool tools are flawless, and that one in particular is not much more expensive than it's counterparts.

I recently bought the Park CC4 chain wear indicator as it works on all bike chains including 12 speed chains. Super easy to use. Replacing your chain often is key to drive train maintenance. Much cheaper to replace a chain than cassettes and chain rings.

This tool is more of a go/no go tool. It is a little more robust than my higher end tool also by Park. Park makes the best bicycle tools.

It is a very simple but quick way to check your chain for wear. I bought it and checked my chain, it was just at the end of it's useful life. So I replaced it and the shifting is now perfect again. I checked the new chain with this tool and saw the difference - nice!

Stop guessing. This chain wear checker is so simple and quick, that it becomes easy to regularly check your chain for wear. Place it on, squeeze and drop it down. Exactly what's needed to maintain our bikes efficiently and cost-effectively. Thank you, Park Tool and thank you, Amazon, for the super-quick delivery.

Easy way to see chain wear if the end point slips into the chain linkage. Keep your chain clean and lubricated and it will last much longer. An overly oily chain attracts dust and forms a paste that wears out your chain faster and will cost you money to replace.

Now I can tell when my chain needs replacement. I no longer have to rely on my bike shop to tell me. It takes less than 2 seconds to see whether your chain needs replacement. For 11 and 12 speed chains, replace after .5% wear. For 10 speed chains, replace after .75% wear. Just snap onto the upper or lower chain section and see where the opposite end winds up. The video provided is excellent.

I ride bikes a lot, but never considered how important the chain was. Now it is easy to check my chains on all my bicycles to see if the chain needs replacement. If you are having a stretched chain on your bicycle too long it will damage the chain rings and other components making you bike shift not so good. Easy to use and you can trust the great products from Park Tool. Well made and a great part of your bicycle maintenance program.
