Bike chains

The core of the range is 6–12-speed chains with a 1/2″ pitch. For 6–8 speeds they are 3/32″ wide, for 9–12 speeds mostly a narrower 11/128″. Most have 116 links, some 12-speed models 126 links. Before fitting, the chain is shortened to the length the bike needs.

For more demanding riding there are semi-hollow and hollow versions for 9–12 speeds. Some models are non-directional, so they can be fitted either way round, and according to the manufacturer they resist wear and corrosion better. The chains suit mountain and road bikes with the matching number of speeds.

For single-speed and fixed-gear bikes there is a 1/2″ × 1/8″ chain with 100 links. A quick link comes with every chain and makes it easy to open the chain for cleaning or replacement. Replace a worn chain in good time, as it speeds up wear on the cassette and chainrings.
