There aren't many components more important on a bike than a chain. However it's often easy to overlook chain wear that can cause serious inefficiency in the drivetrain and even risk a chain failure. Plus a worn chain will also cause irreparable damage to the rest of your drivetrain components, so replacing it ahead of time is a way to save a lot of money long term.

Follow our guide to check your chain's health.
