Your cog is slipping.
Quit riding your bike and just take pictures of it.

You can't prevent it. 501's are classics, but the denim is thin and any amount of riding will cause serious crotch wear in no time.

Don't wear jeans to ride.
If it's a little ride to someplace at low speed then fine, but longer rides, where you wanna ride fast...
Get some padded shorts, or at least wear something of a sports material.

Same here spinerguy. Sucks, but then again, I'm usually in shorts because I want to ride a bike.

cloths wear out. it's from wearing them. had many ass blow outs from jeans i never worn on a bike. Levi's have gone down hill in the past few years sense they stopped making them in Mexico and Canada.
If you have an old pair of 501's or 505's from say 6 or 8 years ago, they will wear like iron, if you bough a pair of Levi 511's (new within the past 3 years) you will be lucky to get a years wear out of them without wearing them on a bike at all.
Levi's I know, i sold them and for 11+ years.
