New chain & everything turned to custard.

[Glen]

Put on a new chain and my smooth, quiet, sweet bike became noisy with chain clicking & slipping cogs.
Was perfect on old chain.
Had my bike 11 months & done 6000km(just 32 charges. I do a lot of analogue riding) .
Looks like I need new sprockets.

I think this is my third chain.

Yes probably time to change the cassette and chain ring TBH. or put the old chain back on and run it until its dead, then replace all with new.

You have worn out your drivetrain. Did you change the chain by guess or did you measure wear? Change chain between 0,5%and 0.70% wear. 6000 km is imho very OK rate for cassette / chainring.

My first front chainring lasted only 1 000 km. Had to replace it at the same time with 0.5 % worn chain. XX1 casette still going strong. Third chain going and I think soon it will be time to start rotating these three chains. It could be possible that casette still accepts fourth new chain. Don't know but will test it when I reach 3 000 km.

yes I measure my chain wear with a park tool.
I see several people seem to run three chains swapping them out. Seems like a good idea to me to even out wear. Is that why they do it or is there another reason?
Cheers

Correct it's for even wear. You should change the chain often to make most of it.
