  • Interchangeable mid plate system adapts the tool to new chain standards as they're released

Development and testing

Abbey tested the design over two years, breaking more than 10,000 chains on a single tool and pin during development, roughly a decade's worth of daily chain installs, which is where the name comes from.

Compatibility & fit

Works with 9-13-speed derailleur chains, including current 12 and 13-speed chains from Campagnolo and Shimano's XTR M9100. Interchangeable mid plates (sold separately) extend it to 1/8 in single-speed/track chains and the SRAM AXS group; see Abbey's Mid Plate range.

Abbey Bike Tools doesn't publish detailed consumer warranty terms for this category, though it stands behind the precision of its US-machined tools — for warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Abbey Bike Tools' Australian distributor.
