Re: [ST] RE: chain life
For what it's worth I criminally abuse, and neglect, chain adjustment and
lubrication. I got 18k out of the OEM chain(and sprockets), and another 20k
out of a second OEM style chain after that(no sprocket replacement needed).
I now have a DID 530-ZVM chain mounted. Criminal to me means I would lube
the chain with Maxim Chain Wax maybe every 600+ miles, and sometimes right
after a good rain ride. I adjusted the chain once or twice between 6k
services. The first chain was so abused the barrels of the chain were
discoloured, DOAH!
