Time to Eat Some CROW!!!!

Guess I must be the odd man out, because I almost never need to adjust my chain between tire changes.

not something to be proud of slice.

OK, quick question... why is it all scratched up?

And, I don't need to adjust my chain that often either... pray tell, why would that be a bad thing?

Feck, I have 100+lbs-ft of torque, and I don't need to adjust my chain that often.

I don't adjust my chain that often either... although it was kinda loose which may have contributed to this situation....

I don't think that it's scratched, it's just dirty, I got caught in the rain last night as well... Or it might have something to do with them being on two bikes for over 50,000 miles and 4 or 5 crashes...

Not sure I'd go that far. I have 13k on my chain, about 20 track days, and have yet to need to adjust my chain. I clean and lube it when needed, but the tension has never needed adjustment. I think it speaks more for that chain than it does anything I'm doing (or not doing).

Or maybe you missed the point of my post: there's nothing wrong with not having to adjust your chain after a certain mileage. It doesn't point to a lack of care or maintenance.

If it ain't broke (or loose) don't fix it
