DieVlieg Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 XO1 Eagle Cassette - just passed 5,000km on it and using 2 chains. Changed the chains once at around 2,500km and both chains are still under 0.5% wear. The chains and cassette are cleaned and degreased every week.Please share your degrease cleaning and lube regiment. nonky 1
BikeisLife Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Think I've got around 6000km on a GX eagle cassette. Only started slipping now in the 2 last gears doing max effort sprints with a new chain.  DieselnDust 1
nonky Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 I am on approx 5,500kms with GX Eagle, using only GX Chains that were replaced regularly. Still using original oval 34t SRAM chainring. Chain cleaned and lubed regularly but not religiously.Shifting started playing up slightly recently but I'm going to see if a tune up at the LBS helps. Also had a derailleur replaced by SRAM under warranty after it blew up at approx. 2,500kms (well documented fault with the jockey wheels).  Want to upgrade to XO1 or XX1, or even XT/XTR, on my next bike.
Titleist Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 6300km on GX to date and on the 5th chain.
Monark Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Okay so we are all replacing our chains regularly. I thought that I was the only one!
thebob Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 1000km on GX, chain at 0.25 stretch. Smooth and reliable
bullet77 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 About 5300km on current GX cassette, second chain, it's still working fine but is quite worn according to the wear checking tools at the LBS.

Christofison Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Get an XX1 gold and thank me later. You’ll get even better mileage.According to this guy, XX1 & XO1 chains get you the same mileage, so that means XO1 is the best bang for your buck.Also according to this guy, XX1 & XO1 rob you of about 3watts because of the extra coatings leading to super tight tolerances, so probably not the best for race day if you're super competitive.https://cyclingtips.com/2019/12/the-best-bicycle-chain-durability-and-efficiency-tested/
