Simple and easy to fix is good. Complex and never breaks is better.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Foot.
Now, some of the other things we told you about are worth noting in the years to come.
I put off doing my chain for a long time but it finally HAD to happen. Made a difference in the noise coming from the engine, too!
