Bikes: how long have you got?

oi saccy,

I've been running the sram thingo's for ever....everyone told me they were gunna cause me 'issues', but i've never had any problems at all....much easier than punching a link all the time.......i take the cahin & cogs off once a month or so...soak overnight in an old icecream tub of diesel.....dry it off...voila immaculate chain & cogs...& my $300 dura ace cassette seems to last twice as long as the lads who told me that the sram links were crap!....they make em in every size....check 'em out
