I busted my first chain on my fixed gear. This chain was about three to four years old. I heard these last a long time, but I guess not that long. I have been riding fixed gear for about five years now, so once in five years isn't that bad. I wish I could say the same thing for my mountain bike!

I endoed and bruised my thigh bad, and broke a coulple of fingers becasue holding on to the cowhorn bars. Nothing major.

Any recommendations on chains?? I have been using the Sachs PC1 BMX/Track chain.
