Minor scuff on the tire. Nothing serious. Tire pressure is fine.

Sprocket is wearing. It is a slow process. Once it's started it ramps up! They ship out with a very hard anodized coating but once that gives up then it's a race!

Note the sound! When you're decelerating it is usually worse but after a short bit it's always there.



What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
