Out of curiosity, what's the fastest you've managed to ruin your chainring(s)?
Under 10K miles over two years. Poor maintenance and if memory serves, no chain replacement. Live and learn. That was my first bike in 30 years.
Now I change the chain every 2K miles no matter what. Chains get cleaned and re-lubed every 150 miles. I no longer ride in the wet.
