New sprockets and low mile chain on Hawk

Hello, who thinks it would be ok to use new sprockets and an old chain with about 250 miles on the chain.

I think it would be fine...A chain with 250 miles on it is new to me

You aren't prepping the bike for The Dakar are you?

Go for it. I've done far worse without repercussions.

A chain with 250 miles on it is the same as new, as far as I'm concerned.
