Probably. On multi-geared bikes, it will tend to degrade the cassette cogs if you run the chain too long - i.e. past its + 1/2 "stretch" point for 12 link pairs. After that point, you make longer gullies in the sprocket and new chains will just skim right over the top. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com "Maybe a bike, once discarded, pines away year after year for the first hand that steered it, and as it grows old it dreams, in its bike way, of the young roads." -- Robert McCammon, "Boy's Life" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
