I did fit a new sprocket a couple of weeks ago (at 15k), but at £8/each that's not a big deal.
Fitted lever protectors on to stop my Oxford Muffs pushing against the levers. Seems to work. Also had new gold DID chain fitted. The last chain lasted a proxy 4500 miles. Expecting at least 12k from this chain.

I'm in total agreement. My chain has only been adjusted 3 times in about 8000 miles. My scotoiler is off at the moment but as soon as I've got some new clear tube I'll put it back on. I'm using Chain and Cable spray grease nicked from work and it's doing a great job but the fly off is horrendous. I can't believe how filthy the bike has got after the thorough clean i gave it a few weeks back. Our second car is going soon so no more choice between cage or bike.
