How many miles do you get out of a chain & sprocket set, Gary? I replaced the factory chain & sprox on my Gen 3 at 44,000 miles, although I really should have replaced them at around 40K. The chain was well worn by that point, and the front sprocket noticeably hooked. That was with my usual lubrication regime of painting on a little gear oil with a 1" brush every 400 miles or so.

The replacement chain, a DID x-ring, has only needed one small adjustment in 20K miles so that seems to be wearing well.
