SRAM chains are one clear exception to using these suggested tools. Most chains on the market start with a roller that’s 7.63-7.65mm in outside diameter. SRAM’s chains are larger — for example, rollers from a Red 22 chain are 7.69-7.70mm, while an Eagle 12-speed chain uses rollers that measure 7.72mm. And SRAM’s new Flat-Top chain as part of the Road AXS groups is larger again (7.90mm).
SRAM chains, and their oversized rollers, throw a spanner in the works. If you’re dealing with SRAM chains, then definitely get yourself a tool like the Pedro’s Chain Wear Checker II or Park Tool CC-4. They’ll work great with all other chains, too.
Of course, that throws off any tool that measures from opposing sides of the rollers. This is where Pedros’ Chain Checker Plus II, or Park Tool’s CC-4 come in. These backside-to-backside chain checkers will work across all chains, including SRAM.
Because of this, both Pedro’s Chain Wear Checker II and Park Tool’s CC-4 are fast becoming my preferred options, and for not a big increase in cost. The Pedro’s manages to combine other tools into it, while the Park feels a little more rigid in use.
