Threads not foreign to me, I've replaced a few chain and sprocket sets on the dirt bikes, cause the sprockets were so bad, the teeth were worn to a point, and curved.
Just NEVER broke one.



+1 I would run my dirt bikes until the sprocket started to slip on the chain. None of the cobbled points broke on the chain I broke it broke in a different spot so I had a 4th master the rest of that day and for a couple more seasons. It did bunch up and was jammed just didn't break anything. That was the hardest part to getting it fixed was getting the chain unjammed and out of there. Funny thing is I'll have to go look, my chopper may still have that cobbled chain on it.

I also ran my tires until I could clearly see the nylon and have run a couple through to the tube for a blow out. Had that happen over 100mph on the creek road here boy was that a wild ride, I think the only reason I was able to keep it upright was that bike had rim locks on it that kept the tire on the rim. The back end still flopped from side to side but I had bled off a lot of my speed before it started flopping.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
