The place I bought it at just told me that I should replace my chain soon when I brought it in for a 60 day tune-up. As you could guess, I bought the bike not to long ago, and since then I've put around 200 miles on it. Everywhere I've found online suggests replacing your chain ever 200 miles, so changing it already seems premature. But that he told me it is getting bad has me a bit paranoid: Is something I'm doing putting unnecessary stress on it? Is something wrong with my cassette already that has him worried? Or is _he_ the one being paranoid?
I maintain my bike pretty well and I'm _pretty_ knowledgeable. But in the simplest terms, how do I know when my chain is getting bad?
