Appreciate the comments. Will consider my options.
Yeh, I know nothing about cycling. Chain blew apart coming out of a steep turn and on an incline. On the pedals a bit and I probably have been a bit harsh with the shifting under load since I started riding it a couple weeks ago.
Not certain how much riding I will do if my legs stay healthy for running. Ended up doing unscheduled run back to truck after chain break, and I am feeling ok, so bike is not priority.
Pulled crank assembly apart chasing down squeal, and left cone is badly pitted, so I have one on order. Not certain how much money I want to put into this thing.
SRAM PC850 (8 speed) is 114 links. My chain is 118. Problem?
