What kind of babbling nonsense is this.
Measure your ****ing chain to determine when you need to replace it. I still don't get WHY ON EARTH people keep referring to chain life in terms of miles and distance. There are about a TRILLION factors that go into how much a chain will wear on a given bike, for a given rider.
MEASURE YOUR CHAIN
