How many miles did you ride? My Wabi Special turned 3000 miles last week; I'm still running the orig. drivetrain. I lube/clean the chain every 250 miles. I use Pro-Gold and adjust the tension when it needs it (about every 3 or 4 lube cycles). I'll replace the chain ring, chain and cog together when the time comes. Good quality drivetrain parts, with consistent cleaning and lubing will last a long time. I look at the chainring tooth profile as a wear indicator, and good old seat of the pants feel--you can tell through the pedals if the drivetrain is running smoothly. Personally, I expect my Wabi to run at least double (6000 miles) before I replace the parts.
