Mike at Metric Motors said the sprokets wear with the miles, and a new chain will wear faster because of them.
Maybe I should have left the chain alone and not changed it, this was before I knew about checking chain stretch.

That really is a bummer, change it all out then it still break.
Mike is completely correct... the correct thing to do is replace both the chain, the sprockets and the rails and guides...but that is a much much bigger job when you include all the sprockets..
Sometimes stuff happens despite doing the right thing.... you were right as a matter of principle to change out the chain IMHO.
