Double the miles you have now, I'd replace it before it hits that mark.
So here's the scenario's...
ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain, ride, replace chain = 4x new chains
ride, modify adjuster, ride, replace chain, ride, change hole, ride, replace chain = 2x new chains
Same amount of riding, twice as many chains.
And my modified adjuster won't fall apart to destroy your engine.
