[ST] Chain Life

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got about 17,500ish miles out of the stock chain, (i believe a Regina
o-ring).  I'm putting an RK, X O-ring which is suppose to be better than a
standard O-ring.  I hope I will get more than 17,000 the second time around.
I'll let U know in a year or two.

I have about 8,000 miles on my O-ring chain now, with nothing more than a 
little lube about every 1,000 miles and a wipe down to get rid of the grit. 
And I've never had to adjust the chain tension.
