pics of worn drivetrains ?
how am i supposed to know when my freewheel and chainring are worn beyond usable condition? In understand chain condition can be assessed by overall stretch, does anyone have any examples or rules of thumb for when gear type parts are done?

Just keep tensioning out the slack until it doesn't run smoothly anymore.
If you start out with everything precisely aligned then you have a ton of room for error (derailleur setups run fine with literally inches of play).

Jeebus Cripes this guy must be posting drunk or something. The amount of error perpetrated in those two sentences makes my head hurt.
