justinlo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Hi all. I see a few related topics on this. Who else is replacing 12 speed chain when chain wear gauge is at 0.5, this is on a Park tool CC 3.2 gauge. -If I leave it to the 0.75 will it be too much wear to still run a new chain on the cassette? Only get like 1700km on the chain, 3months of usage which isn't much. Or is it better just to replace once it comes to the 0.5 and then possible 3 or possibly more chains runs on the same cassette?

thisismyotherbike Posted March 23, 2019 Share Replace it now, but cough up for the XX1 chain in gold or black. They last forever. Mine has 2000km and not even showing 0.25 Edit: I recall some guys run 3 chains to 0.5, then run those same 3 chains to 0.75. Then replace chains and cassette. I'll reiterate that the XX1 chains will make this entire cycle stretch much longer.

justinlo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Thanks... just took the time to write down the actual mileage on this chain. It turns out I got this far 2253km. I will check out the option to go for a XX1 chain.. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinlo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Silly question time... compatibility of using Xx1 chain on Sunrace cassette 11-50. Theoretically it shouldn't make a difference since I currently use their Gx chain on a Sunrace cassette with no problems. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinlo Posted March 23, 2019 Share Will take a look, although it looks like, the how to fit a chain.I have seen Park tools video on how to use their chain gauge CC 3.2 to see if the chain is worn they also suggested the replace 12 speed chains at the 0.5 wear indicator.

Me rida my bicycle Posted March 23, 2019 Share I ran 2 xx1 chains and just replaced them, both where 0.75. New chain is running perfectly, not sure of the the mileage I got was little more than a year of riding. Xx1 cassette still looks good might get another chain out of it after this 1.
