Haha! No worries Sarge. I already tossed that chain and am waiting on my new one. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong to kill my chains . Apparently I just bought two junk chains. And she does have a mean streak in her,believe you me!

Not being a smart aleck,honest question: I thought that 10K miles was about the life span of a chain. How can a chain go 8K without needing adjusting if its dead at 10K?

And you can feel the slack when a chain gets too long. You can feel it when you left off,or if you dont shift real smooth. It clunks. Slack-no slack-slack-no slack. It's pretty noticeable.
