FAQs

How often should I clean and lubricate the chain?

Clean and lubricate your chain every 100-200 miles, or more frequently if you ride in wet or dirty conditions.

What kind of lubricant should I use?

Use a high-quality chain lubricant specifically designed for bicycle chains. Avoid using WD-40 or other general-purpose lubricants.

How do I know when to replace the chain?

Use a chain wear indicator tool to measure chain stretch. Replace the chain when it reaches the wear limit, typically 0.5% or 0.75%.

Can I use this chain with other brands of drivetrains?

No, this chain is designed for 11-speed SRAM RED 22, Force 22, and RED eTap groupsets. Using it with other brands may result in poor shifting performance and/or damage the components.

What is the purpose of the PowerLock connector?

The PowerLock connector provides a secure and easy way to install and remove the chain without the need for chain tools.

How long should the chain last?

Chain life varies depending on riding conditions, maintenance, and rider weight. With proper care, the chain should last between 1,500 and 3,000 miles.

Can I use a chain cleaner on this chain?

Yes, you can use a chain cleaner to clean the chain. Ensure you use a cleaner designed for bicycle chains and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What is the material of the chain plates?

The outer and inner plates are made of Nickel Silver.

Troubleshooting

Chain skipping or not shifting smoothly

Check for chain wear, bent chain links, or damage to the cassette or derailleurs. Adjust the derailleurs or replace worn components.

Chain noise

Ensure the chain is properly lubricated. Check for tight or stiff links and address those issues. Inspect the chain alignment.

Difficulty installing the PowerLock connector

Make sure the chain links are properly aligned before inserting the PowerLock connector. Use the correct PowerLock installation tool if needed.

Premature chain wear

Ensure the chain is cleaned and lubricated regularly. Check for alignment issues, and consider replacing the cassette and chainrings if they are also worn.

Chain is too long or too short

Verify the chain length is correct for your bike's setup. If it's too long, remove links. If it's too short, you will need to add links.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The SRAM PC RED22 chain is compatible with SRAM RED 22, Force 22, and RED eTap 11-speed groupsets. Ensure your drivetrain matches these specifications.
Installation: Use the PowerLock® silver connector for easy installation. Follow the instructions included with the chain or on SRAM's website for proper installation. Ensure the chain is the correct length for your bike's cassette and chainrings.
Chain Length: Determine the correct chain length by using the 'big-big' method (largest chainring in front and largest cog in the rear, without the chain going through the rear derailleur) or your bike's manufacturer recommendations.
Cleaning: Clean your chain regularly with a chain cleaner and a brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the chain’s finish. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the chain.
Lubrication: Apply a high-quality chain lubricant after cleaning and drying. Wipe off any excess lubricant to prevent attracting dirt and grime.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the chain for wear and tear, and replace it when it reaches the wear limit as indicated by a chain wear indicator tool. Check the chain for stiffness or damaged links.
