Hi all, i have this wear indicator and i am unclear what it exactly measures. I have a 11 speed chain that i am trying to measure and it almost fits. On other wear indicator tools i see they put 0.5 % / 0.75 % / 1 % annotations on it, that would have been helpful here too.

I looked at the documentation but it is not mentioned. When i put it next to a ruler, it think the indicator length is about 89mm.

Park CC-4.

It replaces Shimano’s infamous tool, is good for all chains, reliable, and is exceptionally affordable.

Chains that were showing “worn” on my Park CC-2 show as “still good” on the CC4 and the CC-4 is good for everything including 13-speed, Flattop and T-Type chains.
