I've read a few time, (eg just now https://www.roadbikereview.com/threads/chain-wear-indicator-tools-which-one.238705/ ), that chain wear indicators, the typical type which either does (worn) or doesn't (not worn) drop down into the chain, and that that method of measurement isn't right because it's about the distance from roller centre to roller centre, rather than edge of rollers. Something like that. What on earth's that about? Surely, in use, it's about the mismatch or not between both the teeth on the cassette and separately teeth on the chain ring. And that mismatch involves distance from roller edge to roller edge just as much as from pin centre to pin centre; It's the roller edges which come into contact with the teeth on the cogs so ... ?
Anyway, which chain wear indicator should I get? I've got 10 and 11 speed bikes, don't want to spend a fortune but want something good/reliable (of course).
Thanks.
