I figure that there is enough wear/use on a chain after a few 1000KM. Been using the same drive train on my Mountain bike for the better part of 10 years with only chain replacements this way. Used to race x-country on it and still commute on it about 50km a week plus a ride or two. Lots of use and never have a new chain skip. | |
