At Bike Punk, we are not just a bike shop; we are a cultural hub for cycling enthusiasts in Berlin Kreuzberg.

We understand how crucial the right chain is for your bike's performance. That’s why we are here to provide you with advice and assistance in finding the perfect chain for your individual style and specific requirements.

If you are looking for a new chain for your Fixie or Singlespeed bike, you’ve come to the right place. Here you’ll find the best chains from renowned manufacturers such as D.I.D, KMC, Izumi, Miché, Éclat, YBN, and many others. These products guarantee not only quality and durability but also excellent performance on the road. We know you want to get the most out of your bike, and our carefully selected chains will help you effectively transfer the power you generate while pedaling to the rear wheel drive.

A bicycle chain plays a central role in the drive system. It transfers the power you generate while pedaling to the rear wheel. Our chains are made from high-strength materials and are coated with special finishes that provide both longevity and high resistance to external effects. Each chain is optimized to meet the specific requirements of fixie and singlespeed bikes. You can be assured that you are getting a chain that guarantees precise performance and reliable power transmission, allowing you to enjoy a smooth and efficient riding experience.

When purchasing a chain for your bike, there are several important factors to consider. First, it is crucial to know whether you need a chain for a singlespeed or fixie configuration. Singlespeed bikes often use a slightly wider chain (1/8 inch), while specific special setups may require 3/32 inch chains. This knowledge will help you select the right chain and avoid drivetrain issues.

Additionally, the length of the chain is crucial. A chain that is too long can skip over the smaller cogs, leading to increased wear. A chain that is too short can even damage parts or cause the shifting mechanism to fail. To determine the correct chain length, we recommend measuring your existing chain or using a specific formula based on the chainstay length and the number of teeth on the front and rear sprockets. This ensures that your new chain fits perfectly.

Furthermore, it is important that you take the time to understand the chain structure. A chain consists of various components such as outer plates, inner plates, and pins. The quality of these individual parts directly impacts the overall performance of your chain. Higher-quality chains are made from specially hardened steel or stainless materials, significantly extending their lifespan.

The lifespan of a chain greatly depends on its maintenance. A well-maintained chain can last up to 6,000 kilometers, while a neglected chain will need to be replaced much sooner. Our team at Bike Punk is happy to provide you with recommendations for proper care and maintenance. Regular lubrication and avoiding dirt are key measures to prolong the life of your chain. Use high-quality chain oil or dry lubricants, and keep the chain clean.

A high-quality chain should be cleaned regularly to prevent wear. You should clean the chain in a chain cleaning device or manually with a cloth and plenty of chain cleaner. Make sure to lubricate the chain well, without too much oil sticking to the outer plates, as this can attract dirt.
