Bicycle Chain Replacement and Maintenance

Bicycle chains come in a variety of sizes and have to match your shifter and speeds. It is recommended to change your bicycle chain every 5,000 miles to prolong the life of your cassette and drivetrain.

Bicycle chains are a key component in ensuring the smooth and safe operation of your bike - and unfortunately, this is an item that requires regular replacement or maintenance. Here at Live 4 Bikes, we stock bicycle chains that are compatible with your current rear cassettes or freewheels - ensuring that you don't have to invest in new components unnecessarily.

When it comes to determining when you should replace your bicycle chain, most experts suggest that you should do so somewhere between every 5,000 and 7,000 miles, although this will depend on your individual circumstances and use. To check, the best way is to use a specific bicycle chain wear checker - and our team at Live 4 Bikes is on hand to help if you have any compatibility issues or questions.

With our wide range of products and our ensured compatibility, you can be sure that your bike will be as safe and smooth as possible.
