[QUOTE="motometal, post: 753562, member: 24727"] regarding the chips falling, that would be a function of floor cleanliness, times a constant "k" which is 3.4192 squared, times the "three second rule". :p the chain care debate reminds me a bit of how I called my neighbors "idiots" and some other more colorful names. They are renting the place and refuse to do any yard work. All of their leaves blow into my yard. Certainly they don't expect me to rake leaves FOR them, they probably think i am an idiot for raking at all. I have now realized they aren't really idiots, they just have different priorities. The ends don't justify the means for them, just like intensive chain maintenance isn't a priority for many riders, due to time vs. money factor. Heck, there are folks out there that buy a new bike and don't do ANYTHING besides put gas in it, ride it for a year or two then sell it and buy another new one...buyer beware! regarding chain pitch, Jaybird, I realize as a chain wears or stretches it gets longer. But if that is 100% wear and 0% stretch, the chain wouldn't necessarilly ride any different on the sprocket. think of it this way, when measureing that worn chain, if we stretch it out it measures over pitch, but if we push all the links together it will measure under pitch. the problem lies in the fact that the pin to bushing clearance is now greater, and only the first roller or two is actually contacting the sprocket and pulling it, even though the remaining rollers may ride in the "normal" spot. With an aluminum sprocket, I suspect rather than purely wear from friction, we are also looking at plastic deformation of the working surface of the tooth. Note the rolled over edge or burr. [/QUOTE]
