Yes, I know they wear out quickly, but holy shit!!!!!!!! Only about 7k miles on a liter bike (yes, I ride a little hard) and it's fucking shot!!

Alumn's dont last long no matter the brand.

thats probably why they offer all the sponsorship money, because nobody can afford to run em regularly otherwise.

Id be shocked if your chain didnt jump off that!

Yeah I know. I guess I'm also a little pissed because I was told it was steel from where I bought it.

Coming out of a turn last night, I got on it a little hard with my g/f on the back and it slipped a few teeth while leaning which scared the shit out of me a little bit. Took it somewhat slow to where I was going. Tightened the chain and it was ok the rest of the night and changed it this morning.
