CONNEX Chain Checker for 1/2" Chains
Connex knows what is important when it comes to chains. With over 130 years of experience in the manufacture of chains, they combine German engineering expertise with quality-conscious industrial manufacturing - always in search of the perfect chain. Because only those who are never satisfied set new standards.
A chain checker is an indispensable tool for bicycle maintenance. Sooner or later, the chain will stretch due to wear on the pins and links. This not only impairs shifting performance but also increases wear on other components such as the cassette and chainrings. Protect your wallet in the long term by replacing the chain in good time.
With the Connex chain checker, you can determine in seconds whether a chain change is necessary. Thanks to the long test legs, the result is extremely accurate. Simply place the test gauge on the chain: If the hook on the right-hand side slides into a space between the rollers without the wear gauge lying flat on the chain, your chain is still in order. If the hook on the right-hand side slides into a space between the rollers and the wear gauge lies flat on the chain, it's time for a new Connex chain.
CONNEX by Wippermann
The first chain-driven bicycle had just come onto the market when Wilhelm Wippermann began manufacturing bicycle components in Hagen. The historical trigger: when his son's bicycle chain broke again, he was convinced that it could be done better. He decides to manufacture a chain himself - and in 1893 lays the foundation for one of the oldest brands in the bicycle industry.
Today, the Wippermann company offers long-term prospects to over 300 employees. Every year, they consistently train junior staff in various areas. Some employees spend their entire working life at the medium-sized company from Germany. A real treasure trove of experience, which is also reflected in the quality of the products.
