Hard riding/cheap chains.Why would chains only last a couple months?
Sorry to hear that.During Covid we were cleaning out the garage one day. I pulled the two bikes out my wife bought us for Christmas years ago and have never been ridden. We were giving them away to Goodwill so I aired the tires up. Wife went to get on and promptly fell over and nearly killed herself. Giant road rash on her elbow and knee and a huge bruise right at her waist line. Needless to say I couldn't get those bikes to Goodwill fast enough!
Bicycle chains a small and only last 1500-2000 mi at best.Why would chains only last a couple months?
I don’t think they had chains back thenI don't remember ever breaking, or wearing out a chain when I was a kid.
