Chain Wear @ 200km's

Theoretical - For ever(almost)

 

I bought my roadbike second hand and have done about 3500km on the second hand chain.

 

Keep it clean and well lubed and it should last 10 000km+

This is of course not always practical/possible.

 

Anyone want to disagree with me?

Me Tongue. Nothing lasts forever.

 

I agree, though: road stuff lasts a damn long time when well cared for. I have two chains, each with around 5,000km and neither shows any measurable signs of wear yet.

 

MTB stuff won't last that long because of the dirt, but I don't really do enough MTB miles to say how long a chain should last. I would think about checking it after 3,500km though.
