Can one see/inspect o-rings for wear ?
Is the cost of a new chain (or whether it lasts 10k or 15k miles worth a lot of concern ?
Is there a risk of a fatal accident if a chain isn’t frequently greased?
I tend to say, oil it now and then, check tension (mine hasn’t changed in over 10k mikes), and ... ride.
Gecko...How many miles on your rear tire? If less than 10,000 your chain got an adjustment when the new tire was put on.
Mine doesn't seem to require adjustments between tire changes though.
I spray lube mine when it looks dry or if I ride in the rain.
First chain went 36,909 miles. Current (replacement oem chain) chain has gone 36,228 miles so far.
