BMXER Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 All about TITS, time in the saddle. At 12 hours a week things tend to wear. I use my road bike a lot, chains last longer than mtb. Andro 1
Andro Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I have done more than 4000km on a XX 10 speed cassette, I also cross chain all the time (2 x 10 setup) but I replace my chains after 800km The cassette is still going strong... Same here, use XX cassette, done over 2000 km, third chain, clean cassette, chain and drive train once a week with Parafien.Use Sram chains, found aftermaket chain not that durable.
Pieterg Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Same here.Chain every month cassette every 3 months (1000-1200km per month, MTB)
rouxtjie Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Got about 3500km on my PG990 according to sporttracks, prefer XT cassette though... ...a clean drivetrain is a happy drivetrain
jcmeyerSS Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Wow and I thought running my 3lt ranger was expensive R1.10 per km. But at R3000 for an XX cassette plus 4x SRAM chains at R 400each. And some guys luckily getting 3000km that's R1.50 per km. ouch. Thank goodness I run a SS 2500km on same chain and cogs and still going strong.
Cyclewizz Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Same here.Chain every month cassette every 3 months (1000-1200km per month, MTB) You replace your chain every month ??????? :eek:
Traveler Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Came across this old thread/topic. Got wondering, the most I ever got out of a cassette was on my old Giant NRS. Made just over 8,000km’s on that cassette (9spd), however, I have no idea how many chains and chainrings I went through, I just know it was quite a bit more than 1. I must add that I probably did not ride that bike more than twice in rain & mud. My current MTB cassette has 4,078km’s on it according to Strava & I do not yet have any sign of significant wear on the sprockets and have not yet had any jumping of the chain. During this time I have replaced 3 chains (SRAM PCX1) & 3 chainrings (various brands). Current chain is a KMC X11-93, with life left, and a cSixx chainring, seems to be holding up well. What is your experience?
Titleist Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 My cassette (shimano) is on 2500km and on the 3rd chain.
Mongooser Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 shimanos just last longer IMO Ive been one the same shimano cassette since last year july,I do alot of crude shifting and have snapped 10+ chains on it and still no slips or un-smoove shifting Had a almost new sram for 2 months and i broke 4 teeth off it while shifting quickly
Grease_Monkey Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Eish... I have 3500km on my SRAM XG-1150 Cassette and I would say it's not even halfway through it's life. Change chains (SRAM PC-X1) every +/-1000km, and clean drivetrain with parafin every weekend and then re-lube. It's 1x11, but I tend to use my 42t cog quite regularly. Cassettes should not be wearing as quickly as some people's on this thread! Edited October 2, 2017 by Grease_Monkey
