E Thirteen Cassette & Chain Wear

[Eugeneg]

Hi

 

I switched to a E Thirteen cassette  9 - 46 11 speed and need to replace chains every +- 300 - 400 km.  Any one with similar problem. Using KMC chain.

Might be the kmc chains

I found KMC chains light,very nice for a weightweenie build but stretch very easy.

I like good old XTR/ dura ace chains regardless of what groupset I'm using.

Looking at getting one of these, heard good things from 2 mates who used it for the Epic and Sani with no problems so might just be the chain?

I've been riding an e13 TRS+ since October and have gone through 3 casettes and 4 chains. The steel cassette portion cogs seems to wear exceptionally quickly, even forming flanges on the teeth after sprints. They warrantied the one for me, but eish, not sure they harden the steel properly.

the money you've spent on Cassettes and chains could have bought you an Eagle X0 1 upgrade kit.

 

3000km on my cassette and several really poor chains (now has an Eagle XX1 chain fitted)

Cassette still going strong and very little sign of wear. The XX1 chain is still at 0.0% wear. I cannot fit the chain checker between the rollers and its got around 600km on it already.
