How to install a bike chain on your mountain bike
Can a phone app really tell you how long a chain should be?
More build videos will be added as soon as I make them so please keep an eye on this playlist. I'm really enjoying putting this "Learn to build a bike" series together, and I hope you are too! Let's learn how to build a mtb! Bike maintenance is important to learn.
Big shout out to WorldWide Cyclery for supporting this project.

This stuff seems so simple and a lot of riders take it for granted but we noobs just don't know this little detail stuff. Even the simple stuff like installing a chain. Thanks Gene.

@The_Raikin Год назад

At a point in my life right now where a car just was not as reliable as my legs so I decided to get a mountainbike to commute to work, just want to say thanks for making this and putting it out there it helps more than you know.

@joehopkins6449 3 года назад

The one thing I needed to know he doesn't show lmaoo. Putting the chain threw the derailer confuses me

@carloslomeli738 2 года назад

SAME

@elliotwhitley6835 Год назад

Same here. The other stuff is self explanatory

@BlackStallionxxx Год назад

Make a S shape

@artinos_nikolas Год назад

You saved me, thank you. I spent 10mins trying to lock it

@freerangemtb 6 лет назад

Gene, thanks for this. I haven't ever seen this done, and you made it look super easy. I would eventually like to get around to doing my own custom bike build, some day. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy your channel a lot. Stay upright and keep the rubber side down. -Brian

@RobertMacLeanDeveloper 2 года назад

Thank you for this. Used this and it worked perfectly!

@JakerMB 6 лет назад

nice video gene! now i know how to install a chain!

@dwightbuck5664 6 лет назад

thanks for all you do

@gekkardboy 6 лет назад

Need to know info. I’m about to put a chain from scratch on my new build. Thanks.

@BrianVaughn 6 лет назад

I've always used the KMC quick link. Now you can get a master link from Shimano. Also for a full suspension, don't you do it a little differently?

@alanhui5119 Год назад

Very informative. Thank you!

@rgmtb Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@mikethomson6864 6 лет назад

End caps are a must if you don't want a core sample! A few years ago a friend of mine took a bar to the gut and cut his liver in half!

@Lisa-md7tq 10 месяцев назад

Can you highlight "how" you cut yhe chain and how to determine which side of the link you cut?

@mtbboy1993 6 лет назад

I see some issues with this method, as cage length & pulley/jockey wheel size will effect the chain length, with full suspension bikes, you have to compress the chock to the where the rear axle is furthest out in the travel. So that's why I get the chain trough the Rd cage and biggest cogs, and compress suspension to measure, this is important if changing to different Rd.

@richardmanlapig4355 2 года назад

I was hoping to see where in the derailler you insert those chains but you got em all covered up with your back

@richarde1355 3 года назад

Note: the chain calculator length app doesn’t take into account chain guides, if a person has one, which slightly throws off the chain length calc.

@Bigfoots777 Год назад

Never had gears , so my road kill MTB chain is basically still on , needed new wheel , so how to get correct gear, large / large ( can remember that ) so I guess the gear changer on handle bar doesn't matter at this point . guess its a stupid question

@nbzness 3 года назад

Ok I just watch the park tool sizing guide. And they said 4 links for hardtails not 2. So im a bit confused lol

@useport80 6 лет назад

does that app work for full suspension bikes?

@mtbboy1993 6 лет назад

for suspension bikes you have to count for chain growth, so you must remove air in the shock, and compress it to where the axle is furtherest out in the travel. So short version is no.

@vroomvroom4889 3 года назад

How do you put a chain on a derailer ??

@David-np4vo 2 года назад

I would add another two on my hardtail.

@JakerMB 6 лет назад

i'm early!

@rakebluewallgaming6185 Год назад

How tf i count the links

@jackburton2680 Год назад

Hate how sticky new chains are. I own dogs, my new chain is covered in fur by the time I get it installed

@SsenkulaGeofrey-kv7dr 5 месяцев назад

Fuk 😂amazing

@davidhoffman580 9 месяцев назад

Most people watch these videos to see how to get it through the, derailuer

@chaos9447 Год назад

This didn't help me, as you didn't show how to put it through the derailleur..👎🏼

@smoothgrooves5038 2 года назад

Skip to it next time. Less talk more work

@rgmtb 2 года назад

Working on that

@justinphilpott150 2 года назад

You literally didn’t even show how to put it through the back sprocket which is what I need to know you need learn how to describe how to put a chain on the correct way
