This is an Ultegra 11s chain after 1000km of wear from a 1500W mid-drive. Used to ride a Tangent back in 2016. T’was shredding till it went *clunk*.

    Old chains stretch, the chain meter just measures the stretch. You just need to find the size of a chain meter. IIRC there’s specifications for KMC/shimano chains somewhere, I think it varies by gear count as well (so some chain meters may not work for some chains). Been a while since I did it.
