Free shipping at $109, so, maybe get 4 chains, a cassette, some tubes and
call it a day.

Ah, but chain cleaning (like tube patching and net mending) is a satisfying
art!
I wipe off the chain, then mix hot water with Dawn and Simple Green in a
plastic container, toss in the chain, agitate the h_ll out of it, then pour
off the liquid, wipe the chain, and rinse a couple more times.
you can find new SRAM chains for as little as $13, and a spare master link
is a very light spare to haul along. If you wear through a master link,
your chain was probably stretched enough to affect shifting and
sprocket/chainring wear.

That sounds like a good plan, certainly easy enough to replace with the
master link. Still, it sure seems premature. I really don't have that
many miles on the bicycle, I use it almost exclusively for commuting, which
is a15 mile round trip. I estimate somewhere around 1000 miles on the
I have had a master link fail on me ONCE, and that was probably because I had
taken it apart a few times too many (SS coupled bike dismantled a few times).
For some folks, 1000 miles is as long as a chain will last. One of my riding
buddies gets maybe 2000 miles on his chains; I get close to

Oh, I doubt that very much. I take my master links apart in order to

I'm with you Lynne. I buy 4-packs on ebay, have them in all my bags and
replace them after a few disconnects.

I too take off my chains regularly to clean them and have never had a
connex link fail. I have had Sram links get very tight and impossible to
get off. I save my links and reuse them because the timing chain on the
tandem takes two. Cheap chains can tear out in 1000 miles, good ones
should
But what about this line of reasoning:
Treat chains as disposable items; If you can afford it, replace your chain
more often; Expensive chains feel to me like buying super expensive paper
towels for blowing your nose.
I used to love cleaning chains but now I just like replacing them. :)

No, cleaning chains is not fun, but they are not comparable to paper
towels.

Are you sure?
I'm never convinced I really get my chains clean where it really matters.
So if you clean every three weeks could you replace every four weeks with a
cheaper chain?

You may be, but when I search for 9, 10 or 11 speed chains on the
internet I see list prices for mid-range chains running at $50. I don't
even see $13 in advertises sales. Riv's cheap 9-speed chains are $25,

That's why you buy by the stack. Or that's the reason I buy by the stack.
A lot of places, including Chain Reaction (and Rivendell), do free shipping
when you spend a decent amount of money. I'd never order a single chain on
the internet. You might as well pay retail at the LBS if you are
Toodling along riding home from work and suddenly the pedals lock up tight,
won't turn. I investigated and found that the master chain link (SRAM 9
speed) had a couple problems. The main problem is that the head of
the rivet that the master link connects to had apparently worn away, so the
Jim:
Chains are cheap. I would definitely consider buying a new one. Have you put a
chain checker on it to see if it's overly worn? If the master link was this far
gone, chances are the rest of the chain is going to have problems as well.
