Most BMXers are well aware of it. They're also aware that BMX drivetrains are more likely to die violently than live to old age, and that their chances of survival against concrete ledges and steel coping increase as sprocket sizes decrease. And whoo boy, just wait till you hang your shin on a 44t sprocket for the 47,398th time learning hitchhikers, man...suddenly chain wear is the last thing on your mind.
