Default Long Chain, Less Wear?

Riding in an upright position starves the brain of oxygen and leads to
dementia.

My guess would be that a wear cycle on a chain would
consist of going around the front and rear sprockets once. The flexing
being what abrades the internals of the chain with whatever grit it's
managed to pick up. Longer chain, fewer wear cycles per mile. That's
my steaming turd of an opinion and I'm sticking to it!


Agreed.
