## Description

ProGold Chain Gauge

Review: Super-helpful tool. Saves cassette replacement costs! - Running a stretched chain is the quickest way to ruin the teeth on your cassette and possibly main chainring(s). With higher end components now being made lighter with aluminum, thin to accommodate 1x11 & 1x12 setups, it doesn't take long to deform a set of teeth from a stretched chain, and then replacing a cassette can be $80 to $300 depending on your groupset. I prefer to regularly replace a $30 chain. This tool is very accurate and simple. I check weekly and when I hit 8 thousands of an inch stretch, I order a new chain and replace it. I haven't had to purchase another cassette in almost 9000 miles on my XC bike as a result.
Review: must have for high mileage cyclists - If you ride your bike a lot, you really should replace your chain before it gets too worn, otherwise you'll be wearing your chainrings to match and when you get a new chain it won't match up correctly. (then you end up buying a new cassette and chainrings, making you wonder if you shouldn't just buy a whole new bike instead when you see the cost...) This is a chain gauge, it's easy to use, and doesn't take up a lot of space in your toolbox. Also, it shows you how much your chain has worn, not just a go/no go reading, so you'll know how often to check it in the future. Not much more to say about it than that!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Efficient Gauge at a Slightly Inflated Price
*by T***R on January 2, 2015*

I did some research before buying this gauge and can say that this is likely the best gauge out there. Sure, you can get some expensive electronic gauge that will do much the same thing with more cost and more hassle, but why do that? Doing so makes no sense when one can get one that is a bunch cheaper and works just as well. On another note machinist rulers are another good option, but take longer to use. I like this one because I simply stick it on my chain see where the wear is at, that is it. No squinting at a small increments on a ruler trying to determine how far worn it is, simply, fit and forget. BTW for longer cog life Leonard Zinn recommends changing the chain at about .75 when using this tool.
