your pithy ruminations on <Re: Cracked Plastic?, Chain and sprockets?> were:
=> You know, I have been quiet for a long time about the ScottOiler topic.
=> I have to say that there is one thing you can't say about the ScottOiler
=> and that is how good it looks.

It all depends on how you install it...
See:

for how it _should_ be done! :)
I've got about 26k miles on my current chain & sprockets, and it's at about 1/3
of the adjustment on the swingarm. The rear sprocket shows no appreciable wear.
I hope to get ~35k or more on the chain.
Oh yeah, I ride on dirt roads, in the rain, and in very dusty conditions too
often. That combination will turn "ordinary" chain lube into a fine lapping
paste, just the thing to grind down metal bits.
