    I need to replace the chain on my brothers bike. Its a Giant CRS 3.0.
    What size chain would I need? I'll probably order it off chain reaction.

    Thanks

    Find out what the rear cassette is (ie 9 or 10 speed) and then buy the SRAM version of that (I prefer SRAM chains)

    You will need a chain breaker to get it off, keep the old chain to measure the new one against and use the chainbreaker to shorten the new one to the right length.

    The SRAM chains seem to have ridiculous discounts on at the minute.

    Don't forget that if the chain is old enough you may need to replace the cassette too.
