then if youve only done 1k then they owe you a whole new set ,dameages chain will coarsen excese where later costing you ,you bought it new should be under the warrentee yes ???? and get the reciept to make sure the parts are good quality + why would it be rusty iff youve lubed it 3 times in 1000k surely not

the warrenty was only for 300 miles, basically expired when i rolled out of the lot. and it sat in there garage all winter (minnesota USA) and the rust snuk up on it

when surely thats a manufacture warrentee or something.

they initially were going to charge me for everything since it was a "wear and tear" problem. but I talked to manager after manager untill the deal was met about the chain.

Sorry Todd. With so little mileage you most definitely bought the bike with worn chain and sprockets. I got a front sprocket in the UK for £6.50 GBP. Change them all and lubricate more often. That will be the end of it for over 20K miles.

damn, i suppose i should get sprockets any idea on what i should be looking to spend in dollars lol? us americans dont know our exchange rates

I recently purchased a chain and sprocket set off ebay for £60 (about $90) so I would imagine you'd be paying less than that in the States.

add another £60-70 and get a scotoiler.. then forget about lubbing chain ever again.
