More likely you will need a chain tool for this chain in order to make it correct lenght to your bike.

You only need a chain breaker if you need to make the chain smaller to fit it. It comes with a open link for first-time installation, but you need to check the length against our old chain to compare.

every chain will gain a little bit of slack. you only notice the strecth on a single speed. if you using a multiple speed geared bike the duralier will take the slack up.

This chain comes open, ready to be fitted to your bike. You will only need a chain breaker if you need to shorten it at all, or if you wish to remove it at a later date. Your local Evans branch can provide you with the services to do either of these.
