[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 813478, member: 22283"] I took a closer look and enhanced the photos. The chain was definately worn. That is what deforms the tooth profile the way it is. When the pins and bushing wear, it places undue stress on the sidelinks. If you measure your chains proper, you can change them out before they reach 2% longer than new. This will keep your sprockets from ever deforming, and probably keep chains from ever breaking. If you only adjusted twice in six months, I would bet money it was too tight during the adjustments. If your chain measures out now to within spec (<2% growth), then I'm positive that the chain was too tight. Tight adjustment and elongated chain are the only two things that can deform the CS sprocket teeth uniformly like that. [/QUOTE]
