Kriek Posted August 18, 2010 Share Need advice please.My chain (dura ace) needs replacement every 2-3months which is about 3000kms.I feel this is too quick. Have a new cassette (thought that could be the problem).Could it be my front blades?I would I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Komaan Haas, jy's al lankal hier. Jy weet die vraag gaan net weer 'n faait begin. Meet die ketting. Soek vir "12 inches" en "Chain" hier op die forum. Al die antwoorde is daar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanniri Posted August 18, 2010 Share Moet net nie vir "12 inches" alleen search nie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Ek sal begin: Do you lube your chain with sand and used car oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted August 18, 2010 Share Erm, 3000kms is not all that bad... What's bad (ass) is that you do that in 2-3 months. Respect. My MTB chains last about 1500-2000km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_freak_ Posted August 19, 2010 Share How acurate is this? Tension the chain by pressing lightly on the right pedal. Hold a 12" ruler against the chain. On a fresh chain the distance of 12 full links, from pin to pin, is exactly 12". If 12 links on your chain measure 12 1/8" or more then it is time to replace your chain. If you replace your chain regularly, you will get decidedly longer life out our your chainrings and cassette cogs. Plus, you will have a quieter drivetrain with smoother shifting.

Plus, you will have a quieter drivetrain with smoother shifting. 24 links (12 inner + 12 outer) = 12". You don't have to measure pin to pin. It can be from end of link or beginning of link. The tension the chain is under while standing is enough to get a reading. With a chain gauge you can force the chain to read what ever you want it too. It was demonstrated to me with a brand new chain. Steel inch rulers can be bought from CNA for R30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
