This is an Ultegra 11s chain after 1000km of wear from a 1500W mid-drive. Used to ride a Tangent back in 2016. T'was shredding till it went *clunk*.

Few broken links isn't the only thing wrong with this chain. 1500 watts is a lot to deal with but this sandy grease definitely wasn't helping either.

For sure. I don't recall if it was anything special or just normal street dust and lube. It was the first iteration of that bike and I was stress testing it to see how long would it last.
