Shit - it better not, there's less than 1,000 miles on that chain and sprocket set.

I have one - just never needed it. I'm going to replace the sucker anyhow just as preventative maintenence. I was pretty impressed that it lasted that long, though.

If I give it some throttle the jerkyness goes away so I was wondering that. Either way, it's loose so I'll properly tension and adjust it just in time to throw new tires on it
