When following him I could sometimes hear his chain, "pop and cackle" as he took off from a stop, it was stretched a bit and he knew it was time to replace it but he works at a rock quarry and usually rides the bike to work and travels down a dirt/gravel road each day which wreaks havoc on that chain as well
