And yes, that year-old chain is stretched to hell and actively destroying my brand new cassette. Don't shame me for it - look how shiny it is!
eh, this can't be good for the drive train. iirc you need at least 3 months of road grime, old grease, and unidentifiable organic matter that may include skin from the inside of your right ankle, I can't see the chain being happy all nekkid like that. or maybe that's just how my bike rolls.
