Is my product defective if it doesn't fit into my chain? Even at 0 the fit is too tight. The chain has about 1000 miles on it.

It should fit. I believe that the Chain should be standardized since it needs to fit in the chain ring and cassette. I don't she how the checker could be defective since it is basically milled out of two pieces of aluminum. Keep in mind A brand new chain should be at 25% anyway.

Hard to say. I don't know if you are using it correctly. You may need to contact the Mfr. I have the same tool and works fine. However, my local dealer showed me how to use theirs before my purchase.

All bike chains and sprockets have the same separation-1" from hole to hole or tooth to tooth. You don't specify what the problem seems to be. Is the distance from pin-to-pin on the tool too great or too small? One thousand miles could be a lot or a little depending upon how you're riding. Flat roads? Or steep hills? MTB or Road bike. Another measure would be to take a ruler and measure the distance between 12 pins. It should be exactly 12 inches. If 12 links measure 12 inches, your chain should still be ok.

Mine has gotten a little tight. I try to put sicon spray on it. The crank can get messed up if yiu crank it past the 10ft mark or crank it lower than the lowest setting. Try to avoid that

i would only guess; but it should work since you have a 10-speed cassette. i got this chain to replace a 6 year old Ultegra chain. I would not worry about lack of fitting.

what size your looking? 1 or 2 mm not make to much deference, i think, the chain has some space, in my case i was looking for 110mm then i found one for 113 and is working, i did a race 50 miles and was good no problems at all, good lock, just in case keep looking .........

I do that, often. I have the chain as tight as it can be. Not much adjustment there. Thanks

Others have asked about what these chains will fit and my answer has been: Call the listed fulfiller (mine was out of Oregon) and ask them. They are super nice to deal with and have answered others who called them (I have received feedback on this :-).

I'd say it's a defective unit. If you can't tighten it up, I'd get another one. Both mine are tight and work great.

Well it takes a pretty good squeeze to release the master link but has never been a problem for me.Chain pins are always tight.Get a good breaker and make sure your exactly on the head of the pin and it will come out

Have not had to replace my chain yet,but I do know Farm & fleet has a large selection of chains. I would look there first.

Yes it is....just add chain oil. Check chain tightness after a bit. New chain will stretch some.

The chains fit snug if installed properly. You also cross a pair of bungees across the face of the wheel to tighten them even more

The back wheel locked up when the chain came off. If u put the chain back on it should work again.

its a 3/32 cog the chain will fit but it will be a little loose. However if your chainline is off this might work for you

I had this same problem, the forks were too wide. I had to manually bend them (carefully) so they properly snapped in. It's been fine ever since.

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

The tires on my machine are size 4.10-6. The chains fit tightly. but well. You'll need to read the tire size off the tire sidewall and go from there.

Yeah , but will need to adjust chain length . Recommend new chain/master link ( wallyworld sells a good cheap set)Adjust length so that there's two extra links ( counting the master;)) when chain's around the biggest sprockets .Good luck
