should you/we cyclists "expect" a chain to break at some time???

There are a lot of failed chains here, can anyone say design flaw.

If part of the effort that is put into making bikes lighter, without compromising there strength to much, was to be put into making them stronger, without compromising there weight to much, then we could all have better bikes.

And the extra weight of chain that dose not brake could be offset by not having to carry the tools to fix it.

Most chains don't break. Most tyres don't puncture. What's your point?
