A quick chain check can help you decide when maintenance is due before shifting starts to suffer. The Pedro's Chain Checker Plus II indicates 0.5% and 0.75% wear, using three contact points to account for roller movement when assessing the distance between chain pins.
Follow the illustrated placement sequence for a useful reading, then use your chain maker's replacement guidance. The same tool can hold a slack section of chain during joining work and hold a slotted chainring nut. Pedro's current chart includes the listed 13-speed and Flattop chains; use that chart for exact compatibility.
Ruined a cassette by leaving it too long before changing my chain. Guys at brink recommended having this handy and suggested I should get up to 3 chains out of a cassette before it needs replacing too. Great tip, every biker should have one.
