I ride and maintain my road bikes regularly, but can be negligent of my FG bike. Low maintenance is a lot of the reason why I own it, but I may have taken that too far.

Will I experience any downsides besides prematurely wearing down my cog and chainring? I don't notice any decrease in the performance of the drivetrain.
