Or guys using equipment everyday we’re carrying a complete extra drive, especially if you were riding a PA. Like mentioned, carrying a bag or the tools needed along with a spare idler chain / cable could save your bacon. But drop that 7/16 nut in water and your toast. Can you imagine paddling a PA from around corner? Replacing cables / chains every year or two is probably a wise idea if seeing extreme usage. Knowing where to look or inspect can help, but the failure can also occur without warning. Not sure if arms on newer style of drive have issues? But, that could occur on older models. Some guys have even stripped out the cam. Having a professional service it every year wouldn’t be a bad idea.
