My issue with chain drive here in the UK is that with rock salt being put onto our roads with even a hint of colder weather chains end up being attacked and corroding, even with regular care. I am quite devoted to looking after the things, spending money on all sorts of expensive cans of cleaner and lube and cleaning/lubing regularly. It's a hassle and the chain ends up looking shoddy compared to the rest of the bike.
I have a feeling that this corrosion finds its way into the bearing surfaces and prematurely finishes the chain off too.
I recently put some molybdenum grease on my rear most shaft splines and all was good in the 'tunnel of love'.
Maybe I should move to SoCal?
