Most people don't understand the damage we do to the chain on our bikes. After my ride today I will replace the chain on my bike, the dust and grime along with the lack of rain this winter has made the trails very dusty a little early this year.
400 miles is a good time to replace a chain, and we all know that a drive train can be very costly. Even if you go for the top dollar chain at over $50.00 it is always cheaper than a brand new drive train, so every month or so do yourself an your bike a favor buy a new chain.
