I suppose there could be a number of reasons for that. I don’t understand it either …but I have a theoryso i measured my xx chain today after 700km with the abbey tool. still at 0.25% wear. i really don't know how badly you people must treat your bike if you wear down your drivetrains like that![]()
Location, terrain, component quality, dust, sand, mud, loam, riding behaviour, operator abuse, and bad luck.
I think my drivetrain components last an average amount of time. Plus I may clean and maintain those components on a regular basis, or if things don’t sound or feel right.
