30,067 miles. Replaced chain and sprockets. The sprockets looked good, but the chain developed a tight spot. I am disappointed with the mileage I got out of this chain because I cleaned and lubricated my chain regularly. I would clean my chain with a wire brush, wipe it clean with WD-40, blow all the WD-40 off with a high-pressure air hose before lubricating it with Chain Wax approximately every 3,000 - 4,000 miles. I would lubricate it approximately every 500 miles, or less. I've tried various brands of chain lubricant, and I can't really say I've noticed any better performance from one compared to another. Maybe I've just opened up a good conversation topic concerning chain lubricants, because I've known people to have very strong opinions when it comes to chain lube, just like they do concerning motor oil.
