A broken bike chain means an unrideable bike. Bike chains are some of the most frequently replaced bike parts, and we sell a lot of them. Using a bike chain breaker, you can adjust the number of links on your bike's chain as necessary. Bike chains are sold in pre-cut lengths, and the savvy cyclist will usually select a size longer than needed and tailor the length to their bike's specifications.

Bike Chain (1/2" Pitch)
Instead of their ANSI number, bike chains are most often referred to by the roller width; most commonly 1/8" or 3/32" size. The pitch is always 1/2".

1/8" chain is most often used on bicycles with coaster brakes such as single speed cruisers and BMX bikes.

3/32" Chain is found on most bikes that use derailleurs such as road bikes, racers, and mountain bikes.

All chain counts include both outer AND inner link plates! For example, a 96-link chain includes 48 outer and 48 inner links (plates). Technically this would have formerly been called a 48-link, 96-pin chain. However most current usage, as well as many manufacturers, now refer to this as 96-link.
