On: Supershoes are reshaping distance running

Not to mention that a broken chain means an inoperable bike, and replacing a chain on the go is a messy job. And if the chainrings are worn due to a poorly maintained chain, a replacement new chain may not even fit correctly.

So, even without injury, a broken chain even two miles away from town and a bike shop is no fun.

The only good thing about not lubricating your drivetrain is that replacing/fixing it won't be so messy!
