2020 Levo cassette wear!

[FlyingKiwi]

Levo Comp sram cassettes failing in just under 400km of trail....mate and I bought bikes same time and both went within a week of each other? Is this a spesh/sram issue or is 400km the accepted life of these things? Would have hoped for 1000km!....my friends previous trek did that. Anyone else with this issue (running 65% assist with max power in trail, vary rarely use turbo).

I would think that’s unusual wear. I spent the first 6 months race shifting under power and only changed the cassette after 2000km. Unless your really abusing that cassette, I would think there’s something wrong with it and definitely a warranty issue.

Nope...done nearly double that, all trail riding, and alternating original chain with another ( non e bike chain) and both are still below 0.75. I think sympathetic gear change, using higher cadence, and regular maintenance are more relevant than what power settings you use.

I got about 1500km out of my first drivetrain under a 125kg rider
