has more experience in this area than any other person out there.

There are bound to be some early failures, and no doubt other failures
for various reasons over such a long time period.  These things tend
to be repeated forever, not to mention embellished in the repeating.
I personally would not credit any such claims for this reason, and
also for the simple reason that one determined individual can do an
immense amount of damage which is not easily corrected.  I cannot say
from any personal experience with this guy, but my gut feeling on the
matter is that such is probably the case here.  I personally would
ignore any such statements unless supported by some good convincing
evidence.... not just someone's second or third hand statements.

                                                H.W.

If you need evidense all you need do is go to the chain manufacteres
and ask them what HP their chains will deliver on a continuous basis
and add up the weight of the chain, the weight of the sprockets and
the weight of the box to contain them. Ignor this information at
your peril. BTW Mr. Geshwinder has expired God bless his soul RIP.

Don't get me started on big block V8 Fords as aircraft engines :-)
