I suppose if the only downfall is the potential to snap I can live with this. My bike is a freewheel, so I should stand a high rate of survival if such an incident should occur.
Come on... you have a spare 8 dollars. I paid a little more than that but I replace my chain and cassette every year. The way I look at it is that I save enough money in gas that I can take care of my bike.
