Sram GX / XO1 / XX1 12 Speed mileage

[DieselnDust]

Yes the XX1 cassette is harder. The difference in value isn't as marked compared to X01 cassette with XX1 chain.

[dcal]

Get 3 X01 or XX1 chains and rotate them every week.

And use the paraffin wax lube method.

They last unbelievably long

what about KMC or Sunrace chains on Eagle? Has anyone tried them, in comparison to SRAM chains?

Yes, tried both - not worth it. Very low km, sunrace more so than the premium KMC chains. But both less than GX chains.

Best milage I got was 600km from a taya. The others less. Not worth ruining a R6000 cassette to save R300

Okay I was patiently waiting for my chain to reach .5 wear to replace it, see if it improved my shifting. BIG MISTAKE !

 

Now on the new chain the shifting is much better, but the small cog is un-rideable, so unfortunately back to the old chain... I'll go with it until it's ******, then I'll have to get a new cassette for the new chain

 

I can only recommend what dieselindust says, change at .3 or the second your shifting starts feeling a bit slow/bit *** instead of waiting till you reach .5, your wallet will thank you (and you'll enjoy riding your bike a lot more instead of moaning about your poor shifting for months like I did)

my experience with Eagle X01

 

my Scalpel has 8000km on it, still original Eagle cassette and I have 2 Eagle chains that I rotate every 2000km...everything still works perfectly

 

my friend has Eagle X01 as well...he has done 13000km on the Eagle cassette , still works, no problems

 

we use Squirt lube..every 2 rides..

 

lots of climbing here in Italy...we both weigh 74kgs

Are you guys light weight? Generally do lots of climbing? Surely torque will have an impact as well?

69kg / lots of climbing / quite a lot of torque intervals over the last few weeks, but not necessarily on the smalest cog (depends where I am when I must do those workouts, 3 smaller cogs)

72kg

Average around 500m climbing per hour

average speed typically in the 19.5 to 23km/hr

[cadenceblur]

Okay, so on the lighter end of the scale, heavier okes might get less stellar longevity perhaps.

[DieselnDust]

Depends on power output.

My average power for a mtb ride is around 180 to190W measured not stravad

Yes... bigger guys need higher numbers

[Jbr]

I know some much heavier guys that still don't push any power

KMs more or less?

[Jbr]

can't say unfortunately I bought the bike 2nd hand. I did 1500km on it, before me the guy had it for 9 months and before him it was a demo bike. I'll finish this cassette and then put new cassette / new chain and from there count my km.
