LOL, typo. It's above the limit of the Park Tool CC-2.

3%!!????

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.

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.

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.

6300km on GX to date and on the 5th chain.

[Monark]

Okay so we are all replacing our chains regularly. I thought that I was the only one!

1000km on GX, chain at 0.25 stretch. Smooth and reliable

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.

GX chain @R700 per 1200km

Vs

Xx1 chains @R1200 per 6000km

 

The numbers don’t lie

True story. Xx1 chain and cassette definitely my next purchase.

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.
