The Importance of Knowing Your Chain Life

Over time, your chain undergoes wear due to factors such as friction, dirt, and moisture. As the chain wears, it stretches, causing it to no longer mesh correctly with the teeth of the cassette and chainrings. This can lead to a variety of performance issues, such as poor shifting, slipping while under tension, or the chain hopping of of either the cassette or chain ring. Changing your chain before it reaches these points ensures you'll be getting the most life out of the additional components within your drivetrain?
