MTB Chains

The MTB chain: the link between crankset and cassette

The MTB chain is one of the most important parts to be monitored on your MTB as well as the condition of your brakes to be checked regularly. It's exposed to mud, dust, sand and shocks.
The MTB chain is made up of a multitude of links that are assembled to one another.
It makes it possible to connect between your chain rings (fixed to the crankset) and your cassette, and the chain makes the transmission work. It's thanks to the chain that the energy provided by pedaling will be transmitted to the rear wheel.

How to choose a mountain bike chain?

Your choice depends on your type of transmission. The chain must be well-adapted to your cassette.
Indeed there are as many models of MTB chains as of types of cassettes. There are chains more or less fine and more or less long (about 112 to 116 links) to adapt to cassettes of 6 speeds up to 11 speeds.
Maintenance of your chain is to be done regularly to avoid premature wear. It's necessary to lubricate it after each cleaning session with special MTB lubricant chain.
Finally, to disassemble/reassemble a chain easily and quickly, you need to be equipped with a chain derivative.

MTB Chain: link between crankset and cassette

Your MTB chain is a key component of your bike: it is the link between the crankset and the cassette. It transmits your power from the front part of your drivetrain to the rear part, so your bike can move forwards.

Bicycle Chains are mainly made from alloy steel and consist of cylindrical rollers held by links.

It is essential to keep it maintained and to buy a new one as soon as it is worn (a worn chain will stretch over time).
Don't keep a worn chain thinking you will save money by not buying a new one as it will damage the teeth on your transmission: Sprockets & Chainrings.

Which MTB Chain is right for me?

If you need to replace your mountain bike chain, you will need to choose a model that matches your drivetrain and especially the number of speed: 8, 9, 10 or 11 speed.
The number of gear (or amount of sprockets on your cassette) will determines the width of your new chain. Indeed, for example an 11 Speed chain will be narrower than a 10 speed chain.
The length may vary as well. Generally, Mountain Bike chains will have between 112 to 116 links.

How to maintain a bike chain?

Whatever bike you have: MTB, Road Bike, City Bike, chain maintenance is key.
