The PRTL0086 PRO Team Chain Shifter is the essential tool for all cyclists who want to maintain their drivetrain like a real mechanic... without turning their workshop into a battlefield.
Designed to work on modern 10 to 12 speed chains, it allows you to dismantle, adjust or replace your links with surgical precision. Whether you're shortening a new chain or repairing a broken one, it offers optimum control with every operation.
Its robust steel structure and precise mechanism ensure perfect alignment of the rivet, avoiding classic mistakes (yes, the ones that end in "well... you'll have to buy a new chain"). Its ergonomic handle makes it easier to hold and apply the necessary force without excessive effort.
A clever little detail: a spare rivet is built right into the handle, so it's always handy when you need to save a bike trip.
Compatible with most major brands (Shimano, KMC, SRAM), this chain adjuster is a reliable, durable and precise tool for today's drivetrains.

Why choose this chain dereeler?

What is the purpose of a chain adjuster?
It allows you to remove or insert a rivet to dismantle, shorten or repair a bicycle chain.
Is it compatible with all chains?
It works with most 10 to 12-speed chains, but is not compatible with certain specific transmissions such as SRAM AXS or Campagnolo 12v.
Can it be used for troubleshooting on an outing?
Yes, but it's designed more for workshop use. For road use, a multitool with a chain drive may be more practical.
Is it difficult to use?
No, but you need to be precise. Misalignment can damage the link. Once you've got the hang of it, it's quick and easy.
Do I need a chain adjuster with a quick-release?
Not necessarily, but it is still useful for: adjusting chain length, intervening in the event of breakage, working on a chain without a quick-release fastener, etc
How long does this type of tool last?
With its steel construction, it's designed to last for years, even with regular use.
