At least it feels like one after the snowball repair job. My chain was skipping in middle ring. Closer examination revealed that I had no teeth left on the right leg power section. (gotta start using the other leg...) Anyways, Replaced middle and granny. Hmmm gimme a new chain too. Put it all on, crap, cassette's toast too. OK gimme one of them as well. Man it feels like a new bike. It shifts, it's pedals so smooth. Woo Hoo, I can climb standing again without fear of taking a bite out of my bars when the chain slips. Is it usual to destroy a drive train twice a year? I'm 200lbs. -bruce

I won't include the number of seatposts, saddles and wheels that he annihilates as well. He weighs about the same. - CA-G Canadian Girls Kick Ass!
Took my bike to canada last year and met a girl that bought me a t-shirt that says "canadian girls kick ass" I am inclined to agree.

I'm 200lbs. On one bike, maybe. Unusual wear of chainrings may be caused by a bent crankarm spider. What grade crankset are you running? JD
