ijsjs,

Longer chain = more of the front sprotcket teeth doing the work. I think that's why the sprockets last longer.

Longer chain doesn't actually increase the maximum wrap angle per link, but a smaller sprocket does. I think that's why the extra wrap doesn't seem to matter so much. I had to draw a diagram to get my head round this first time.
