My three chains have been used happily for ~8,000 kms each. When the the last one wears out I am replacing the drivetrain and installing the Chainglider. I expect significantly longer chain life then.mikedufty wrote:7000km on my belt so far, so it will be a while before I can confirm they last 4x longer than chains. What's the life expectancy of a single speed chain, I figure about 5000 on average for a 9spd for me.
Your IGH has died on you? Howso? My Rohloff has done 21,000, and I certainly expect over the 100,000. Never heard of the normal cassette lasting anything like that.mikedufty wrote:I am disappointed that the IGH doesn't seem to have lasted longer than a typical cassette.
