Wasted 3 months fighting rusted chains because I never checked chain stretch with a $4 tool
For the first 3 months of riding my commuter around Portland I kept soaking my chain in degreaser and scrubbing it every weekend, wondering why it kept skipping and rusting. Then a guy at the local bike co-op told me to grab a chain checker for $4 and measure the stretch, turns out mine was at 0.75 percent wear and no amount of cleaning was gonna save it. How often are you all actually checking chain wear, because I feel like I skipped that step for way too long?
