Grease_Monkey Posted February 6, 2021 Share The XX1 has consistently outlasted the X01 by a factor of 3x in my experience. I read that article and dismissed it as nonsense. Even SRAM wouldn't expected 6000km out of the X01. Their guidance was roughly 2500km and I achieved 2300 on one.not worth the 10% saving.Good to know, I thought they were about the same. But my last XO1 lasted just over 2500km compared to the XX1 that lasted 3000km and is still going (on a bike I sold) - less than 0.25 wear when I sold it. Will replace the XO1 with XX1 when the time comes. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted February 6, 2021 Share Would the same be true for the X01 vs. the XX1 cassette as well? Have to change cassette some time and already have XX1 chain ready, but undecided on the cassette.Price difference is substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted February 6, 2021 Share Yes the XX1 cassette is harder. The difference in value isn't as marked compared to X01 cassette with XX1 chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcal Posted February 6, 2021 Share Get 3 X01 or XX1 chains and rotate them every week.And use the paraffin wax lube method.They last unbelievably long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted February 6, 2021 Share what about KMC or Sunrace chains on Eagle? Has anyone tried them, in comparison to SRAM chains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted February 6, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted February 6, 2021 Share what about KMC or Sunrace chains on Eagle? Has anyone tried them, in comparison to SRAM chains?Best milage I got was 600km from a taya. The others less. Not worth ruining a R6000 cassette to save R300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted February 8, 2021 Share 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) Shimano XTR CN-M9100 chain / XT CS-M8100 12spd cassette Edited February 8, 2021 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadenceblur Posted February 8, 2021 Share Are you guys light weight? Generally do lots of climbing? Surely torque will have an impact as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted February 8, 2021 Share 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) Edited February 8, 2021 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted February 8, 2021 Share 72kgAverage around 500m climbing per houraverage speed typically in the 19.5 to 23km/hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted February 8, 2021 Share Okay, so on the lighter end of the scale, heavier okes might get less stellar longevity perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
