  1. I don’t think people actually monitor the life they get from their components. I don’t think they monitor their service intervals either. They just take their bike to the shop when they feel it “needs” a service. So much wear and tear could be prevented just by checking chain stretch every now and then. I like to monitor that sort of stuff. It’s interesting to see the difference just lube makes to your chain life.
  2. What sort of life do you get out of your components? Chain, Chainrings, Cassette, Blades? Would be interesting to see if one brand gets more kilometres / hours than the other. Do cheaper, heavier components last longer? Does anyone even measure their bike maintenance or just replace components when necessary? I usually get around 1200km out of a XX1 chain. 11 000km on a X01 cassette and still riding fine.
