Oh, theyā€™re not supposed to look like that? I think Iā€™m due for a replacement too.

Nice, itā€™ll never look that good again.

I find that when I favor one gear combo too much this happens and when it starts skipping links its time to sqitch it out

Is this on an electric bike? Ive never replaced my chain ring, but I ended up getting a hub-geared belt drive bike last year after getting fed up with crappy derailleurs and replacing broken chains. Itā€™s brilliant.

Bought my partner a belt drive. Itā€™s amazing. Really lovely bit of kit once you get the hang of the eccentric bottom bracket.

I went with a belt instead of a chain, never looked back. 32km per day, 5 days a week for the last 6 years and still running good. Manual bike, not electric, so the load isnā€™t super high and I use my gears so I donā€™t push it too hard.
