I installed it on the bike back when I built it in March. Being a SS I never check the thing for wear. I heard it pop a couple more times than usual during the race.<br /><br />Ordered a new one Monday and put it on Tuesday. Turned out the old one was worn pretty thoroughly when I measured it. The thought of breaking a chain always runs through my head. Heck I actually measured my chainline for the first time since I started riding a SS just to see if this one lasts any longer/runs any more quiet.<br /><br />Glad to see you back on a rigid. Is there a new revamped ti piece on the way back to you yet?the technIAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621381242134923918noreply@blogger.com
