RE: cheap chain replacement

[<ABSDoug2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Point well taken. My room mate pointed this out to me today. Had
no idea chains were going for that much these days. Jesus,
between tires and chains, the miles per dollars some of my
friends spend must be WAY up there.

It is obvious that you have not replaced a chain lately.  On a
friends triumph with 20,000 miles the cost for parts alone was
$265.00  for chain, two sprockets and the lock washer.
Admittedly the triumph parts were expensive since no one makes
after market parts for them,,,but the chain alone which was
generic was still $120.

So if you replace this stuff every 20K and you drive it 100k the
cost will be $1,350 just in parts.  Makes a few bottle of gear
oil look like a bargin doesn't it?
