WELL DONE!

A used chain can give the feeling of being less “tied” because the play is increased and the O-rings are no longer sealing or less tight. However, the conditions of the chain progressively degrade with use and, especially without proper periodic lubrication, the increase in friction from rubbing between contact surfaces generates greater heat and power dissipation, in percentages that can reach up to 10-15 % more than a new chain.
