Yeah I don't see much smooth roads and ride about 500+ miles a month. Some of it is on roads, but also a lot of gravel/dirt. I have to constantly clean chains and group sets otherwise shifting gets super crunchy. I used to ride a cheap bike (Liv Alight 3), but after replacing 3 wheels it was cheaper to buy a nicer bike. Tourney has become a swear word in our house. Lately I've been riding my Catrike Expedition which is a blast, but chain and gear maintenance is still a problem.
