Product details

Dynamic Double Checker: chain and disc rotor wear gauge

Dynamic Double Checker starts from a simple fact: checking chain and brake rotor wear is essential to get the most from your components and ride safely. A worn chain is slower, wears out the whole drivetrain and can break more easily; rotors that are too thin drastically reduce braking power compared with new ones.

Measures real pin wear and rotor thickness

The three-point design measures real pin wear, the most relevant parameter, excluding the influence of roller wear that skews many traditional gauges. It works with 7- to 13-speed chains, including SRAM Flattop, Shimano and Campagnolo. The rotor slots are dedicated to SRAM, Shimano, Campagnolo, Magura and Hope rotors. It is made of anodised aluminium, with a chain hook and a ruler.

How to read the measurements

For the chain, insert points 1 and 2 with the pins facing down, lift the chain to put it under tension and press point 3. Below 0.5% the chain is in good condition; at 0.5% 11-, 12- and 13-speed chains need replacing, at 0.75% 7- to 10-speed chains. If the rotor fits into its brand's slot, it needs replacing.

Frequently asked questions

Why exclude roller wear?

Many gauges rest on the rollers and add their play to the real elongation, flagging a chain for replacement too early. The Double Checker measures pin wear only.

When should the chain be replaced?

With 11-, 12- and 13-speed chains when the indicator reaches 0.5%; with 7- to 10-speed chains at 0.75%. Below 0.5% the chain is in good condition.

How are rotors checked?

Choose the slot for your rotor's brand: if the rotor fits, it needs replacing. If in doubt, check the minimum thickness stated on the rotor itself.

What is the chain hook for?

It holds the two ends of the chain together without tension between them, so you can open or close the quick link in a stable, clean way. It is particularly handy when replacing the chain.
