Find out how to do this common bit of mountain bike maintenance. Click here to subscribe to GMBN: http://gmbn.eu/subscribe You need to replace your chain when the old one gets worn out or if it fails on you. It's always handy to keep a chain tool on you out on the trail if this does happen - even if you have a 'powerlink' style chain connector, you'll still need a means of cutting your new chain down to size. We've got 2 methods of measuring your new chain, so you can get the correct length even if you don't have your old chain to hand.

+Global Mountain Bike Network what if you have 3 chain rings? It was mentioned in the video that the chain must be as tight as possible on the lowest gear. For us with 3 chain rings that will be biggest sprocket and smallest chain ring. is that correct? On the comments, people are saying biggest sprocket and biggest chain ring. Which is correct?

Thanks you guys for all these excellent mtb vids you put out... Feel like I'm constantly learning! Much appreciated.
-
Anyone know what to do if you cut the chain too short? I messed up :/

YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO

Thanks ! Great videos and instruction.

Hello, thanks for another great video! I've just finished changing the chain on my bike and I'm now noticing the shifting is just a bit choppy. There seems to be just a little bit of lag that when I'm pedaling and shifting, it feels clunky. I'm guessing the chain is losing tension for a split second under shifting.
Does this mean the chain is too long? I removed one link from the size of my old chain thinking that was too slack especially considering my derailleur had loads of room to move forward at the lowest gear setting. How do I resolve this for smoother shifting? Thanks! -
hew, with just 2 clicks you could be of great help for me. I'm participating in a contest at my local bikeshop. If I get the most likes on my picture I'll win a new bike and I plan on giving it to my best friend.

Very helpfull video, I only needed this one week earlier. Ah well, thanks anyway! :)
-
nice, I changed my first chain last weekend and now I have a little bit of hate for my local LBS for having only the expansive Shimano chains.
-
I never have put my bike into the 36t rear/ 42t front to see if the chain is long enough, but if I ever use that gear combo I hope I hit a tree.

should do a video of best gym lifts for riding.

Any chance of doing a vid on applying helicopter tape? How to cut it, how to get it round external cable routing etc.

Very nice. I've only seen the method where you just compare your old to your new but I was very curious to know how to do it without another older chain for reference. I may have to take a few links off mine to tighten it a bit.

It would have taken you 10 sec to show how to use the chain wear indicator tool, instead of pointing to another video.
A maintenance tutorial/course should be from start to end, one linear experience, not an amalgam of links to other videos.
If you want, you can point out at the end of the video, the annotations for the related videos. -
come on, really. take a couple links out as a guess, then compress the suspension and see if its right, then add a link back in if its too short. WTF!! this is horrible technique. first, air down the shock and compress the suspension all the way. wrap new chain around biggest cog and biggest chainring and through the derailleur. pull tight, and add one full link, which is an inner and outer link. this sets a 1X system so it has correct tension in all gears, and sets a 2X up so you don't rip the derailleur off.
-
Simpler way to get correct length is thread the chain over the largest chainring and largest sprocket without going through the rear mech, pull tight to where the links would meet then shorten the chain to two full links more than where they meet then thread through mech and join the chain. Perfect chain length.

Can you do a video about installing a part that you bought that you are planning to put on a bike? Maybe like how to put on a shock or a fork or a new drivetrain? That would be awesome. Love this channel and you guys! -Jeremy
