My neighbor told me my chain was too tight. He was right.
I had been cranking it down for years because I thought a little slack meant slippage. After I loosened it to his spec, my bike stopped making that weird grinding noise and I stopped replacing bearings every 3 months. Anyone else get a basic adjustment totally wrong for way too long?

my chain was too tight" lol that was me but with my brakes. i used to squeeze em till they almost locked up cause i thought more grip = safer. took a buddy yelling at me on a ride to realize i was just wearing pads out for no reason. funny how the obvious stuff slips by.
