So, I've ridden my bike for nearly 2 seasons (late spring, all of summer and dry autumn days) with the original chain, the previous owned did next to 0 miles on this chain. The bike has never seen wet or grime, always kept the chain clean and lubed, also.
Each ride I do 25-45 miles, 3-4 days a week.
I purchased a chain measuring tool, but I think I may have purchased the wrong tool? I've attached a photo of what it looks like when the chain tool is placed on the chain, but I think the tool itself is too thick at the point to properly sit in the chain, or is this how the tool is used?
I've always either changed a bike or changed a chain when putting on new components, but this is my first bike in a long time I've kept, and the components are fairly expensive Campag, so I'd rather not needlessly wear out the chainring and cassette due to a worn chain.
Any help please!? Thanks
