Product details

Accurate Chain Wear Measurement

The Park Tool CC-3.2 Chain Checker is a go/no-go gauge that precisely indicates when a chain reaches 0.5% and 0.75% wear. This helps prevent excessive wear to your derailleur and rear cogs by signaling the optimal time to replace your chain.

Compatibility

Designed for use with most derailleur chains ranging from 5 to 12 speeds, the CC-3.2 features permanent measurement markings to ensure long-term accuracy. Note that SRAM flattop and SRAM T-Type 12-speed chains require the CC-4 model.

Replacement Guidelines

  • For 5- to 10-speed chains: replace at or just before 0.75% wear.
  • For 11- to 12-speed chains: replace at or just before 0.5% wear.
