WTF?!? Loosest Chain Ever...?
Seriously, I must be living wrong. I've been keeping an eye on the chain, and it wasn't too loose, or too tight, and today I went for a ride for about 2 miles and something started smacking the bottom of the bike. I took it home and discovered a mile of play in the chain...
I can barely believe what I'm seeing. Because I ride like 20-30mph on smooth streets and I'm completely delicate with this thing. And the bike has 70 miles on it. So WTF? PS - How the hell do you embed a YouTube video in these Forums?

That is a poor quality chain. I can't figure out the video thing either.

Yeah, I've already ordered the new chain. I also have the sprockets to change out, so I suppose I'll be doing all of that at the same time one day. But I just can't believe how fast it happened!!!
