....I might use BC's for audio route prompts though.
Here's an example from JL

If you change the chain often enough, you can make a sprocket and chain ring last almost indefinitely. The question is if it makes economic sense, as in - are you spending more on chains than you would replacing the other components? There is some disagreement on the answer to that, it depends... IMO it makes little cost difference, but letting it all wear out requires less maintenance.Hello,
On my Thorn Raven Twin, I replace my chain about every 7500kms and have just recently replaced the chainrings and sprocket for the first time after accumulating about 44000kms.
