First time bike chain replacer here. Worked like a charm, i now have a new chain on my bike!
So nice to have these videos. The world was a very different place in 1990 :)
Chain tool: Hammer, Punch, 4x2 with a 3mm hole drilled in it.
Spoke tool: Any pliers and good set of eyes, bit of luck
Derailluer tuning: just keep screwing those two things until it sounds about right.
High powered brakes: Whoa, centre-pulls!
Spline tool for bottom bracket, sprocket freewheel: Hammer and flathead screwdriver
Specialised tooling: 6mm allen key and 10mm spanner
Lubricants: Lawnmower oil
We'd all love to have a workshop full of Park Tools wouln't we :D
I had a chain breaker when I was 12 in like 1985. I remember because there was this kid who was a real a-hole, so I broke the chain on his bike during school, and he found out or guessed it was me and him and his mates chased me round for ages, but we never ended up having a fight about it. He ended up saying he admired my work.
lol yeah, brings up old memories :)
These guys literally have the best how to guides on bikes. Easy to follow. Solid explanations and covers everything in detail. I've learned so much from this channel on how to build my road bike.
I'd love to build my own bike. It's been on my to-do list for a long time now
they are pioneers of sorts in bike tools. they got the best ones.
Pro tip -- don't drop the guide pin on the ground where you can't find it... little mistake cost me at least an hour >_>
😂😂
Sorry….thanks for the heads up. 😊
No chance, I did that (I dropped it through a grate and it’s gone forever), and I came to RUclips to see if there was a different way to do it, I ended up just using the old rivet from re sizing the chain, but that didn’t last very long
Cardboard box sheet below work catch small Piece
Magnetic plates or a plastic cup helps ;) I learned that the hard way with working on my car.
Another pro tip. Don't fix your bike in your lawn, or any part where it's grassy or sandy. It costs me a new chain link
7 years later, this video helped me, a clueless newbie to replace my bike chain that broke
I just successfully completed my first chain install while following this video. Thanks Park Tool!
Super helpful! Sharp, close-up video, clear diagrams, and step-by-step narration clearly guide inexperienced bike owners to complete repairs and maintenance.
Mine needed one!!! I had always ridden my bike. For so many years, it was ridden. It rusted, by the rain. It made a difference to ride on a new chain. My bike save alot of gas. As i see the gas is going up!!!!!!!
When you have one and a half left hands but done your first chain replacement with sizing a chain...You know park Tools did it right with their tutorial. Thank you so much, without this Video I wouldnt be so confident to do my first chain replacement by myself!
A great tip (which was used at 5:16, but not mentioned) is to throw a loop into the tail end of the chain, so that when you're concentrating on feeding the leading end of the chain through the front derailleur, the tail end doesn't slip through the rear derailleur.
cool! i actually hadn't learned that trick before!
I had never heard of a pilot rivet before watching this vid. What a brilliant and simple invention! I have a decent extraction tool but trying to get an ordinary rivet into a chain is up there with the building of the Bell Rock Lighthouse and putting man on the moon in terms of difficulty. Now I have the answer. Many thanks!
This is the only video that I could find mention of driving the pin in a particular direction. Good job! Wish it was mentioned in the other park tool chain sizing video.
Thorough, concise and easy to follow. Best "How to" videos on RUclips. Thanks Park Tools.
You literally fixed my bike. Thank you! I'm going for a ride.
God I pray I can say this soon
No he literally didn't.
Ingat. Tanga ka pa naman
@@cl1qued896 hahahaha pinoy lang malakas
Shimano hyperglide pins should be inserted from the inside - I never knew that before and did it from the outside for the last 25 years! Never had a problem but the explanation of why it should be done that way was clear. Thanks :)
It's worth pointing out that Shimano wants you to insert the pin from the outside in, at least according the manual for the 11-speed Dura-Ace/Ultegra chains. But I agree that it seems to make a whole lot more sense to insert it inside out, preventing it from contacting the cogs, and I've done it myself that way in a recent chain replacement. The pins themselves have differing thicknesses machined into them on either end, so it might still make a difference, but on the other hand Shimano isn't warning you off of inserting them the other way around (but they do clearly instruct to install the chain with the writing on the outside and have the outer link at the front because doing it differently affects the chain performance)
@@tuckersbowtie I also noticed that difference between this video @6:20 and the Shimano 11-speed chain Dealer's Manual that clearly shows pin insertion from the outside of the bike. Note that for Campagnolo chains it's the other way around -- they want you to insert pin from the inside of the bike.
Perhaps the folks at Park Tool learned that it somehow doesn't technically matter much for Shimano 11-speed, whereas it does matter for Campagnolo so they decided to show one consistent way to do things that works for everything???
This series of Videos are the best of all time on any subject! Kudos to Park Tool for their excellence in video production and thanks for all the info.
Your videos are simply the best! Covering all things that could go wrong and the camera angles... are just what is needed to get the job done just right! Thank you SO much!
Such a clear video thanks. Also, it is the first video I've seen from multiple ones on the same subject, that refits the new chain without the rear wheel being there. It makes so much more sense!
Thank you so much for this!
My one suggestion is to point out that when measuring the replacement chain link for link against the old one for length, if the new chain comes with a separate master link part, the replacement chain needs to be cut one link shorter when you're lining them up, not same length as is in the video. Then when you add the master link they will both be same length.
I think in the video he added the master link on the other end before deciding the length. I may be wrong. Cheers.
I haven't even got my bike yet and watching this. Lol
These guys make incredible tutorials.
looking forward to purchasing these tools, and assembling my new chain.
Although this video is 6 years old, it was very helpful to me performing my first ever chain replacement on a bike. Tank You, Mr. Beard :-)
Concise, clear and filmed super clearly. 11/10, this made replacing my chain an educative, fun and satisfying job!
best bicycle repair videos on youtube, well done guys
Great video, I just had to resize my chain after taking it to Evan's Cycles, I swear whenever I have taken a bike to Evan's or Halfords it comes back with more problems than it went with.
Thank you. I successfully changed my bike chain for the first time after watching this. Thanks for the great tools (I used your bike stand) and how to videos.
Very well done videos! you include so much more details and side demonstrations, it make this process a lot more doable for a novice person like me. Thanks
Thank you for the tip how to connect the chain link w/o the pliers, you just saved me a trip to a shop and 15$. Very appreciated.
You guys are GREAT!! Your instruction is clear and simple. Your videos helped me to order the correct parts that I need and repair my bike quick and easy. I never thought that I would be able to put a new chain on my bike all by myself , but YES I CAN thanks to you ! Now I can get back out to my happy place.... on my bike ! Thank you !!!!!!!🙂
Q
A very professionally produced video. The graphics are great. Thanks.
I never would have thought I could size and fit a chain on my bike. Thanks guys. Wish I had a chain tool and a RUclips connection when my chain snapped 30 miles from home the other day :) but I am good to go again now
Just changed the chain on my roadbike myself for the first time. Workin' great!
Spot on video! Just replaced my first chain in a breeze. Awesome graphics. So clear!
Best video on the subject, clear and concise especially the sizing part since most of the time I will be replacing a chain
Best video in RUclips concerning chain installation!
Thank you for all of those simple videos, helped me a lot!!!!
Great teacher you are. Patient and do not hide what is necessary or speed up what could be boring for you due to routine.
I noticed today that the chain on my bike was so worn that it was starting to skip teeth on the gears. So I came here to get instructions on how to replace the chain. Now I have a fresh chain set on my bicycle. 👌👌
Thanks, just finished my first chain replacement! Excellent guide
Your video is very precise. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. It's been several years since I have fiddled with bike's that have multiple speeds.
At 5:46, you mentioned that an alternative way is to apply the brake and to pedal. But I don't think there was any part in which the wheel was put back. It would be good to warn to make sure that the wheel is there especially for disc brake wheels otherwise, if one mindlessly follows this, the brake calipers will just close (without the disc rotor) and that's another problem to solve. Anyway, thanks for the video. I'll be changing my chains as soon as they arrive!
Thankyou, that was a good video for a auto mechanic getting into cycling. Much appreciated.
An* 😊
Thanks for making this how-to. Really easy and straight forward.
add some more details on inserting the chain, with camera focussing on the rear cassette etc.
Everything is just perfect
Exactly that’s a pretty big deal! Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees!!
Professional quality video and tools. First class.
When your technician has a beard like that.. you know you're in good hands
especially when the beard comes into the chain...
he must have caught it in the chain at least once
Yes, with great beard comes great responsibility.
Gonna grow a beard now.
you cannot imagine how effectively lubricates your bike chain, this beard soaked in grease.
I watched this before I changed my chain! Thank you!
Thank you and this is very useful. I was able to replace the chain on my own.
This video was a huge help. Thanks for making it and making it easy to follow. You rock!
Ive just replaced my Chain on my Electric bike,Thats another repair done,Its been through a lot of service repairs lately,Last time I gave it a good service repair was about a year ago,Its been well used a lot since then as well
Great video! Thanks for the well articulated instructions.
The best video tutorial by far. Thanks!
Super-helpful video, thank you! It made my first chain replacement a breeze. Your tutorial was spot on, but omitted the need for a third hand at the 6:19 mark if you chose to be lazy and not remove your rear wheel. Pulling the chain together while pushing through that pin is a bit tricky. And obvious pro-tip: close the chain when the ends of the chain are on the bottom of its loop (ends dangling down from the chain ring and cassette) vs on the top of its loop; makes things much easier when you invariably lose grip on the chain because you were too lazy to remove the rear wheel. :)
an easy DIY trick I learned that will help give you that "third hand" for both removal and installation is to cut about 2 inches off a wire coat hanger (or whatever equivalent is available to you), bend both ends about 100 degrees inwards, and you've got a very handy tool that will de-tension the section of the chain you're working on
Thank you Park Tool, I just changed my first chain
I can rightfully grow a beard now
You’re brave. I’m glad it worked out for you but remember for next time to ensure you have a beard before attempting to perform these repairs.
You have the best job in the world, and you do it well. Thank you for the video.
Thank you Park Tools - This video made me feel like I knew what I was doing with my first chain replacement. 👍
When confirming the correct length, you need to account for chain stretch. If you haven't replaced your change in while it could seem like you need to remove a chain link, when you really don't.
After 2 hours I am still here trying to connect the chains
I feel your pain!
When sizing my chain. I go by the number of links. Like 116 links in length is perfect for my bike. I always but 116 links. Bought a chain tool kit from Amazon.
When you know, that's the best way.
Thanks guys! Really appreciate your very helpful videos!
Thanks alot! This helped me make my Trek Fuel Ex 8 Chain length perfect! The first chain lasted me 6,700 miles! More to come!! Yay!! ⛓ 😃 #BikeLife 💯
Him: “using needle nose pliers is difficult at best” Hands using non-branded tool: [laughs in infomercial]
Also thank you for the royal toilet flush at minute 7:38 :-))
Can-du attitude. Love it.
Great video thanks. I had a little hiccup, not realizing that master links are easily removable, so when I had to remove a few links to shorten chain I had some questions, but local bike shop helped me out.
My bike chain has been skipping since I replaced it (diamondback sorrento 21 speed) I just swapped in a GIANT 21 speed chain didn’t realize it was 8 links too long thanks Park too!
Excellent work good communication skills. I even learned a thing or two. I did not realize when chains bind you can flex them sideways. To help alleviate the binding.
Because of this tutorial, I was able to successfully replace a chain on my road bike yesterday for the first time...thanks Park Tool!!
Thank you for sharing this Information Brother 😎✌️. It will be very helpful for my New Chain Application 🙂
great video. i ended up not double checking the pin, don't skip this step!
Thanks! This video sorted me out... just replaced my chain.
Question: If I'm removing a chain in order to clean it, and it's a chain with a special connector rivet but no quick-link, do I break the chain several links away from the connector rivet, if I'm going to put the same chain back on? Or do I use the connector rivet to break and remove the chain, and use a new connector pilot pin/rivet to put it back on? thnks, hope my question is understandable.
Good Q. You will break a rivet that is a few rivets away from your current connector rivet and replace the one that you push out with a new replacement rivet. The replacment rivets have a different size and harness than the originals and make for a much safer replacement.
Park Tool: Good advice, facial hair mandatory 😂
8:15 " it might be a symptom of a worn cassete so you might need to replace those" throws the metal cassete on the table and ... BLAAAM!!!
I guess that this sound we just heard is a symptom of a worn table as well. You might need to replace the table too.
Cool story bro.
Nice! Really thorough. I had a tight link where I pressed in the pin. That lateral flex fixed it. I was at peak eff DIY point of the day! I don't have that insert to press/shroom the other side of the pin, so I guess I'll live life on the edge for awhile. 😉
Bloody brilliant tutorial thank you👍👍
Very useful Park Tools,thank you.
Great, great level of full explanation. What change my point of view and I know I need start from compare size and then put new back again. Great level of video with arrows and things like that. Thank you very much.
Good demonstration and well explained:)
Hi guys.
After letting bike tire down, loosening back break, removing tire, following instructions for measuring new chain without existing one, fitting connectors, re-threading new chain, putting back wheel back on, adjusting breaks and testing gears all work (and all upside down and reverse to videos as video instruction bike was suspended right way up), and after 5 hours of "can do attitude", I changed my chain. Yeh! Thanks very much lads for detailed instructions. Oh "girl power" by the way. Female. Never done before. Got frustrated many times, but never gave up. Now I'm mobile. Thought - could you do a video for those that aren't able to suspend their bikes right way up to repair chain?
From England, UK.
I use a lidl 30 pound bike rack. Bargain and means no more upside down maintenance.
Wao, wao. What a High Quality Video and very well explained with all the illustration. Great job guys.
Outstanding explanation!
Wish I’d seen this video, 10 yrs ago as I didn’t use a new pin when I replaced my chain. The pin came out and ripped up the front derailleur. It’s what we used to do when I was a kid. I use a power link/missing link now much better idea than the stupid pin.
Thank you Park tools .This video made my job so much easier . I agree with previous comment nice BEARD
Always great advice and "how to". You guys ROCK!
excellent video and very well explained. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
As this is the newest video I just want to say I as well as my boys miss your uploads. Please post soon.
EXCELLENT! Thanks for presenting!
Easy to follow. Thanks!
Excellent video tutorial! 👍👍🚲🚲
Oh my god lol I was struggling with the master link but just found the solution to put it back. 5:35, amazing content
Great video! Thanks
Instructions from general users are more reliable than instructions from companies, because users will tell you things the companies won't allow.
why is it that we dont just push the connecting rivit out to remove the old chain? This should have been explained but was not.
Where can I buy a can do attitude?
Do not forget to lubricate the new chain breaker's threads. You will not be able to do this without it. I learned the hard way. From impossible to easy.
Problem is following: how often do we change our bike chains ? Maybe once every few years ,chain tool costs more than a chain...
😁😁😁
Installed new chain, chainrings, cassette and new rear derailleur; did all this to eliminate an occasional noise in the drivetrain while under a load. Still there? Maybe time for a bottom bracket?
Thanks for this video Park Tool. I just recently bought a Park Tool bicycle repair stand and other Park Tools associated with my ‘06 Trek Multitrack 7500. I did my first chain replacement the other day and I checked the operation of the new chain with the front and rear derailleur shifted to the largest chainring and cog and discovered that the new chain was a bit too long having the chain almost touching itself exiting at the rear derailleur lower idler cog. I redid my work by taking out two more links. Apparently my bike had a chain with 114 links all these years when 112 links on the new Shimano chain is actually better.
