20 Bike chain
There are two types of bike chain:
A wide bike chain (½ × 1 / 8") for hub gears and
A narrow bike chain for derailleur gears. These are
available in dierent widths, depending on how
may sprockets are on the cassette. Only use chains
that are approved for precisely the number of
sprocket wheels on your bike.
Clean and lubricate your bike chain regularly.
To prevent premature wear of the bike chain when
using derailleur gears, select gears that keep the
chain skew as marginal as possible.
To check the wear in the bike chain, proceed as follows:
Take the section of the chain that rests on the ont
chainring between your thumb and forenger.
Pull the bike chain o the chainring. If the bike
chain can be lied by a signicant amount, it is
worn and must be replaced by a new one.
With hub gears, the chain tension must be adjusted
so that vertical play of one to two centimetres is
present in the unsupported chain span between the
chainring and sprocket wheel.
To take up the slack in the bike chain, proceed as follows:
Loosen the rear wheel nuts.
Pull the wheel back into the dropouts until only the
permissible amount of play is present in the bike
chain.
Tighten all screw connections carelly clockwise.
Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as other-
wise screws could shear o and components could
come loose or detach altogether (see Chapter 30
"Technical data").
20.1 Maintenance of bike chains
Bike chains are wear parts. Bike chains with hub gears
wear out aer roughly 3000km, and aer roughly
2000km with derailleur gears.
If the bike chain is worn, it can break and cause a
crash. If your bike chain is worn, have it replaced by
your specialist cycle shop before using the bike again.
