Buying a new chain casesste end blades

[15315479]

I am forced (after 5000km) to repalce my chain, casette and blades. I am looking at shimano's Deore or XT. Is the XT really worth almost twice the money?

 

Have also read and heard that it is possible to reduce chain and casette wear by using 2 or more chains and changing between them regurlarly. Is this true?

Correct. I did 13500km on three SRAM chains, one cassette and set of blades. All this in one year with a chain swap every 500km.

You were lucky to get 5000km out of one drive chain,

I'm lucky to get 2500km from my middle ring, the cassette usually about the same and the chain and small ring usually 2 each cassette, all above =XT. I've never riden with deore but XT is smooth when new.
