Sorry but that can't be true, Chuck Norris wouldn't ride a $hitty SE Lager!
You're right, he wouldn't ride one. He'd use it as a toughness demonstrator. Then ride off on his Colnago Pista with Campagnolo cranks.and i cant afford to spend 2 g's on a track frame.
and to bbattle my chain was tensioned right.
How does a chain eat the teeth of a chainring? Did the teeth get bent? Break off? Are you sure you have a straight chainline?

This sounds like some installation/operator error or a random defective ring from the factory. I have a friend with a vero crankset on his flite 100 and he's had absolutely no problems with it. The vero is a perfectly fine budget crankset.
