Park Tool CC-4.2 Bicycle Chain Checker in use

Park Tool CC-4.2 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-4.2 Chain Checker is a drop-in style gauge that measures bicycle chain wear. The laser cut CC-4.2 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 13-speed derailleur chain (including SRAM AXS and Shimano XTR 12-speed chains) and is designed to accurately indicate when a chain reaches 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% wear, the points at which most chain manufacturers suggest replacement.

Park Tool CC-4 Bicycle Chain Checker in use

The CC-4.2 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
  • ≥1.0% Wear - chains on single-speed and two-sprocket systems should be replaced at or before this measurement

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

A necessity nowadays since we've got SRAM and others doing weird things with their chains so that the old school chain checkers that measured from the left face of one roller to the right face of another don't give accurate readings anymore.

A simple gauge to check bicycle chain wear, as a “peace of mind” tool!

This tool from Park works exactly like it should heavy duty metal design should last you a lifetime if you take care of it.

Campgnolo says in the manual to use a micrometer to test the chain length of 6 links in a few spots @ max 132.6mm or replace the chain. The micrometer I have works for this but using this Park Tool device is easier. For me, the Campy 13sp chain does need replacement @ =0.5 detent using this device, as the chain starts creaking there even though technically it’s OK since it measures 132.0mm when the 0.5 detent is reached.

Easy to use, dead accurate, saves a ton of $$ on chain replacement.
