Hey guys this is my third chain on my metapower and the one I had on before was a gx which is still not even hit the .50 wear with the park tool 3.2 gauge.when I was taking links out on the new one I was barely at a third of a link stretch on the total length..my cassette has no bent teeth either yet it jumps in every cog.it actually sounds smooth even though I’ve still messed with indexing and b screw just to try and eliminate the problem..put the old gx on and it’s fine🙄😂anyone had this?dodgy chain? Never had this last time with the gx one

Its not a dodgy chain.....your cassette has worn too much to work with a new chain. Just keep using the GX chain until you get problems then change the cassette and chain. Alternatively use the new chain and wait for it wear in which it may do after a couple of rides.

Yea was kinda dreading you say that 😂this keeping an eye on chain wear is no good if the cassette wears out anyway first..luckily I have an xd ratchet body that came with my dt Swiss rear so a cheaper nx 11x50 is on the cards.Just been told that the park tool 3.2 does not work with sram chains..if that’s true it’s gash they do not say this🙄
