A chain is great...until....
A long story involving..
a car with a flat parked on the side of the freeway...
A dumbass cager that didn't see it and rear ended the car...
that caused the spare tire to roll/bounce down the freeway...
and hit the handlebars on the bike my ex was riding...
he's not sure exactly how, he probably ran over something as well... he said he was a bit preoccupied at the time... traffic on both sides of course...
The shaft that holds the front sprocket broke off, and the chain snapped.
No gears.
We ended up replacing the entire motor/tranny with a used one because it was cheaper..1984 Suzuki 400 something or other.
At least it was a cheap bike! <BG>

Oh yeah, there's also replacement belts with some kind of links to use for temporary repairs. I know a few guys that carry them.
