Bleeding eck .

You should get another 5K easy out of that. Cut out the hard acceleration and wheelies and you'll be fine

What's the problem with that? Just bolt it back on the other way round and spread the wear a bit. No worries!

Ah nice to see there are a few like minded folk about. The fecker in the bike shop was trying to tell me some rubbish like "...blah really dangerous....blah waffle blah..... chain could snap at any mome....blah blah..."
I thought a bit of WD40 and some silver foil tips glued on would do the trick alright

I don't know about really dangerous, but it's not good.

All the left hand side is worn to stubs , the right hand side aint too bad though. I have no idea why anybody would ride a bike like that! GET A NEW ONE and a front sprocket and chain to match. Looks dangerous to me. Why risk it?
