How long should it last?

If it's well taken care of then I see no reason why it can't go for 50,000km (bout 30,000miles)

If well lubed, your sprockets will wear out faster than the chain. When the sprockets wear out, replace chain at the same time.

Mine lasted 17,000 miles. Seems to be about average.

Also seems to depend on how well its maintained, most of mine lasted between 10 and 20, one quit earlier but I didnt realy clean it that often.
