That looks like a good tool. Do you have one? https://www.ebiketuning.com/manufacturer/ebikespider/ebikespider-with-crank-puller.html

I moved my house insurance to Bradford & Bingley as they covered my ebike as a specified item.

This Amazon review of the Bosch Locking Spider tool agrees with you.. ....it's a required tool with how quickly bosch powered bikes go through chains (and you need to change the ring when you change chain of you get horrible chainsuck.

Thanks GLJoe, I guess when I had the new cassette and chain fitted I should have had a new front sprocket too.

Thanks, Ive also seen that method on Park Tools Youtube page. Looks like I've got the correct length chain, but the wrong type of chain.

Thanks soundwave. Your link shows the SLX groups, but mine is the XT Deore, but they seem to share the same SLX M7000 cassette. If so, it looks like the chain I need could be a CN-HG601-11...

OK, thanks. So it looks like I bought the wrong chain. Any idea which chain i would need please? Cubes website says the cassette on my bike is a Shimano SLX CS-M7000 cassette 11-46

The receipt for the chain that the bike shop fitted states Sram PC1130, which is why a bought another one. Perhaps they just scanned the barcode of one of these for a price, yet fitted a different chain entirely?

Well after cutting the new chain to the same size as the old one (same number of links as the old one, both hung up together from a nail in the wall and both the same size), its still not right. It's noisy, with a horrible metal on metal sound as if its catching somewhere, and i'm getting...

Mines a Shimano XT, with an XT M800 cassette.

Just taken my new chain off and hung it from a nail on a length of timber, and SW is correct, it's two links longer than the one its replaced. I had previously measured it top of a flat bench and they both looked the same length, but obviously not. Got a chain link tool arriving today so I'll...

My current chain is on 600 miles and is now at 0.5% stretch. Not sure what others are getting out of their chains.

The problem is, I use all eleven of my gears on my commute. Gear eleven on the flats (and I could do with a higher gear) and sometimes all the way down to gear one when riding up the steep hills on my daily commute....

Major Oak tree in Robin Hoods Sherwood Forest...

Thanks, obviously the 120 link chain had some links removed . I'll get myself a chain link tool. Any suggestions for a good one?

The one in the photo is the new one I fitted today, but isn't right. So perhaps I just need to remove some links?

Ok, thanks. So is there a way of working out which size chain is needed? When my bike shop fitted one for me the receipt said it was a Sram PC1110 120 link. The replacement I bought by mistake has 114 links but appears to be to long (see photo above).

How come some 11 speed chains have more links than others? The one fitted to my bike is 120 links, I see the one you posted has 118 links, and I've also seen 11 speed chains with 114? Infact, I bought a 114 ink chain my mistake and when fitting it today and it just doesn't fit right, the chain...

I had a new chain (Sram PC1110) fitted to my 11 speed Cube Reaction Race ebike in the middle of February, and its now showing 0.5% wear, which according to the Park Tool chain checker guide means my chain should be replaced. I ride about 200 miles per month, so in the three months since i've...

I'd have to buy the tools. But i guess they are useful to have anyway.
