Ant in the NL Posted March 20 Share 1 hour ago, SwissVan said: IMHO If it aint broken don’t F*** with it. Replace it a week before CE and during the epic give it a clean and lube… without removing it. Bicycle chains don’t just break, and when they do it’s usually down to human behaviour, excessive cross chaining or chain removal. Removing and installing a chain everyday is a recipe for failure, even when the work is performed by a professional mechanic. Rant over Champion comment - have a mate that does a chain clean up and removal almost every 2nd week and the amount of drama he's picked up is astounding 🤯 - and he wonders why his chain isn't lekker on the trails ajnkzn, ChrisF and SwissVan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben Hechter Posted March 20 Share Anyone noticed the Media Bulls E Bike is running a belt system with a gearbox/transmission? You can see a small shifter lever under the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing and installing a chain everyday is a recipe for failure, even when the work is performed by a professional mechanic. Rant over It takes one rock to bounce up from the bike in front of you and hit the chain + chainring in such a way to just just weaken the link enough that given the right amount of watts latter on the chain would break. I don't care what brand chain you have it is a very plausible (and very unlucky) scenario. An no, removing a chain and putting it back does not weaken or mess with a chain if you use a quick link. It actually cleans easier taking it off. That is pretty basic bike maintenance. I would hesitate putting a new chain on every day yes. I like testing a chain before going racing with it (sometimes you don't have a choice though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted March 20 Share 18 minutes ago, NotSoBigBen said: My boet in New Zealand just bought this! Please keep us posted about the longevity of that belt. BMW motorcycles have stayed away from chains as much as possible. Drive shafts on the larger bikes, and belt drive when the 650GS was first launched. The Dakar 650GS came out with a chain. And when people started riding the normal 650GS off road BMW stopped using the belt drive, and switched to chain drive. Their "promotional garble" was that the belt showed premature wear and tear off road, and that the chain drive was more reliable off road. Some 25 years later and now MTB's go belt drive ....
