Bicycle chain brand, how to choose the chain of the bicycle

Bicycle chain brands include KMC, SHIMANO, etc.

Shimano. The group was founded in 1921 and its head office is located in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

After more than 80 years of development, its subsidiaries are located in 17 countries around the world, and it has become a multinational group company specializing in the manufacture and sale of bicycle parts, fishing tackle, skis and golf equipment. Founder: Shozaburo Shimano.

The use of the chain depends on the rider. Even if the riding environment is not too muddy, it is maintained at least once a month, which can not only increase the sliding force of the chain at different speeds, but also more accurately align the connection points of the upper and lower chains to prevent chain drops. With the right maintenance and cleaning process, you can increase the life of your chain more effectively.

The top-of-the-line SRAM CP Shimano KMC city is better.

Among them, as you mentioned KMC, he is OEM for SHIMANO, such as HG51 HG53....It's all done by KMC.

In fact, there are many chains such as Daya, KMC, etc.

There were SHIMANO, KMC, and SRAM, the kit which was better to match, and the grade depended.

Himano, KMC, Guimeng.

KMC is a good brand.

The selection of bicycle chain is from three aspects: First, the size of the chain: there are three common chain size specifications

One-two"One bar" ;One-two"III XXXII" ;One-two"One-one-two", the paragraph imitation buried with two numerical values, the meaning of the first value is the length of each section of the chain, for the common bicycles of the source are generally one or two"。The second value is the width of the chain, where one bar"The chain is the widest, and it can be used on a thicker crankset, one by one"The chain is the narrowest and can only be used on thin cranksets, so special attention should be paid here"The chain is universal, i.e. it can be used on other thin cranksets, but one by one one bar"The chain should never be used on a thick crankset, and many well-made cranksets will indicate the width of the chain required. Second, the speed change performance of the chain:

For the transmission car, it is to choose the Chinese speed, such as the common paint speed, bar speed, 9 speed, a 0 speed, etc. (here refers to the number of pieces of the rear tower wheel crankset, the selection of the chain generally does not take into account the previous shift), the higher the speed grade of the chain, the greater the twist angle of the chain is required, that is to say, when the chain works at the highest speed and the lowest speed of the rear tower wheel, the front and rear cranksets are not in a straight line, and the chain is working in a twisted state, which requires each joint of the chain to have enough clearance to cope with this twisting. The high-speed chain can be used at low speed, but the low-speed chain can not be used at high speed, such as the bar speed chain can be used on the tower wheel of the paint speed, if the paint speed chain is used on the car at the bar speed, because the twist angle of the paint speed chain is small, when the speed is adjusted to the highest speed and the lowest speed, the twist angle exceeds the bearing capacity of the chain, so that the forced work, the damage to the chain and the crankset is great, and even the chain is broken. In addition, it should be noted that even if you choose the right chain, it does not mean that your car is no problem, if the bottom axle of the speed car is too long, and the smallest crankset (outermost) of the front crankset and the rear tower wheel are in a line, then if you adjust to the lowest speed (the largest crankset in the innermost), the chain will be damaged due to too much twisting.

So the correct way is to align the crankset in the middle of the large crankset and the rear tower wheel in a line, and this can be achieved by selecting the bottom bracket of different lengths. In addition, if the front shifter has three large cranksets, then a compromise is a choice, or a higher chain can be considered. 3. The length of the chain:

The length of the chain is expressed in knots, and there are calculation methods and empirical methods for selecting the length of the chain, and here is only a brief introduction to the empirical method. First, the chain is not on the transmission.

The chain wraps around the front and rear, adding two knots to this length. Second, the chain is hung with the transmission, and the rear transmission guide arm is parallel to the ground in the case of small front to small back. 3. The chain is hung with the transmission, and in the case of small to small, the chain has no obvious sagging.

Summary. Chainless bikes Labor-saving: Riding briskly is 22% less than chain-riding bikes.

Durable: The service life is twice that of a chain bike. Safety:

It is 9 times safer and more reliable than chain bikes when riding. Flexibility: Because there are no large parts such as cranksets and chain guards, it reduces resistance during operation and makes it more convenient to ride.

Clean and hygienic, no pinching, no contamination of clothes, only once a year to inject lubricating oil and completely eliminate the disadvantages of chain loss. The structure is simple and easy to repair, compared with the chain transmission car, it is easy to repair and not easy to break, and it does not need to be overhauled after riding 12,000 kilometers.

Chainless bikes Labor-saving: Riding briskly is 22% less than chain-riding bikes. Durable:

The service life is twice that of a chain bike. Safety: 9 times more reliable than chain bikes when riding.

Flexibility: Since there are no large parts such as large cranksets and chain covers, the positive bending calendar reduces resistance during operation and makes riding more convenient. Clean and hygienic, no pinching, no bridge pollution clothes, only once a year to inject lubricating oil and completely eliminate the disadvantages of chain dropping.

The structure is simple and easy to repair, compared with the chain transmission car, it is easy to repair and not easy to break, and it does not need to be overhauled after riding 12,000 kilometers.

Chainless bikes are better.

Its characteristics are: do not need to adopt sprockets, chain embedded stool strips, flywheels and other transmission parts, realize the circular motion of the existing bicycle into a forward pedal up and down pedal, reduce the amount of movement of human knee joints and condyle joints. The pedal linkage adopts bevel gear transmission, and the driver adopts planetary wheel transmission, which greatly improves the driving speed of the bicycle and the reliability of the transmission.

It is an ideal means of transportation when riding, it is safe and comfortable, and it is especially suitable for long-distance riding, and the knot is simple, easy to install, and low cost.

That one saves effort.

If you want to ride a long distance and save effort, you also need a chain car with variable speed!

Because if you buy a chain-free car, you can buy a good chain car!

Electric bike, I want to buy! Don't know if you buy one with a chain? It's still chainless.

Do you usually ride a lot?

Not much. It is recommended that you buy a chain car!

If you ride for a long time, you can buy a chainless one?? Is it right to buy one with a chain after a short riding time? Thank you.

If you ride for a long time! Like climbing a mountain on the weekend! Buy the chain within the outing! Good point variable speed!

You can buy a chainless one with an occasional ride!

No chain is just play!

Bicycle chain sizes are generally divided into three main categories (axle-track?). x?inches): Zhi Xiang He.

2"?x?1/8"；

2"?x?3/32"；

2"?x?11/128"。

Sport shift bikes.

The size of the chain is basically 1 2"x3/32"and 1 2"x11/128"；

Among them, the chain above 9 speed is usually 1 2"x11/128", 8 speeds and below are usually 1 2"x3/32"。

Extended Information: Visual Inspection of Chains:

1. Whether the inner and outer chains are deformed, cracked, or corroded.

2. Whether the pin is deformed or rotated, embroidered.

3. Whether the roller is cracked, damaged or excessively worn.

4. Whether the joint is loose and deformed.

5. Whether there is abnormal sound or abnormal vibration during operation, and whether the lubrication condition of the chain is good.
