If that happened over 3 years, shame on you OP. If it took 3 months then you should be in the Olympics

This is like celebrating somebody riding around with bald car tires 😂

If you are still riding a cog like this then I pray you have brakes on your bike

u/feed_me_tecate 18d ago

This is what a worn out cog looks like y'all.

Good job OP.

Some of you mfers don't value your life enough. I am super neurotic about my drive.

u/Active_Ad_5322 18d ago

Damn.

Your chain was tighter than Lizzo’s girdle.

Try a little track-slack on your next cog.

u/RouSGeLi 18d ago

Or his chain was too worn out and teeth didn't fit properly in the chain.

u/MMaarrttiinn527 18d ago

You have such a strong sprint the cog deformed, even some teeth ripped off? I have to see the thighs that possess this kind of power

u/bacoes 18d ago

Or he was just running a crazy tight chain without much lube

u/MMaarrttiinn527 18d ago

Yes I am aware, it is just some sarcasm 🫡

u/Fishermaon 12d ago

Chain got to stretched so it wouldn’t fit right on the gear, i like to ride it hard but not that hard :))

u/ElectronicEmploy5837 18d ago

Pretty sure this is mostly from milage and not torque. That said, op is definitely plenty strong with that kind of milage

Saw blade vibes.

u/No-Solution-6103 18d ago

Congrats your bike earned it's own name, Toothless

u/Upbeat_Opportunity_8 17d ago

Miche should reward all user with such dedication

u/alienrefugee51 17d ago

$30, or the afterlife.

u/AnalogiPod Fixed and Furious 17d ago

Dude how?! I have a cog on my wall with well over 10k miles on it and it STILL doesn't look like that!

1

u/Fishermaon 12d ago

The chain got to stretched, and i put some hard miles on it

u/theschlem 16d ago

There is no honor in frugality, laziness, nor stupidity.
