After two years of design, testing, revisions, additional testing and tuning, Abbey Bike Tools Chain Tool is composed and ready to put a big smile on your face. We broke over 10,000 chains on a single tool and single pin during the development of the new tool. That's 3 chains being installed each day for a decade, hence the name "Decade".
The threaded body and main screw are made from cro-moly and receive a low-friction powder vapour deposition (PVD) coating to give it a silky feel you've never experienced in a chain tool before. The beautiful large handles ensure ease of use with any chain. The freely rotating pin is made from shock-resistant tool steel and will probably last as long as the rest of the tool. The chain tool comes with a spare chain pin in the handle and they are compatible with Shimano and Campagnolo pins if you find yourself in a pinch.
The most important part of the chain tool must be the interchangeable mid-plate. The sealed part that holds the chain in position can be swapped to work with almost anything the industry comes out with. This ensures that your investment won't become obsolete when company "X" releases an 18-speed cassette in 20 years.
The tool also displays Campagnolo 11 and 12-speed chains to factory specifications using a safety thread that screws into the back of the tool as a stop.
Compatible with 9-13 speed chains, including the new 12 and 13-speed chains from Campagnolo and Shimano XTR 9100. Mid-plates for 1/8" single-speed chains and SRAM AXS groupset are available in the parts section.
