Last week, the gravel bike; this week the mountain bike. Surprisingly, the cassette's still running strong now on a fourth chain. Usually they only last for three, and that third one can be dodgy. What's more, the latest third chain lasted for eight hundred miles. I tell you, I had my doubts about 12-speed drivetrains initially, but wow they are tough. For comparison, back in the day an 8-speed chain would last right at three hundred miles, and a cassette nine hundred.
BTW & note to future self, the previous chain was a SRAM GX and the new chain is the slightly less expensive NX. It'll be interesting to see if it holds up as well.
Onward. I've got miles to ride this morning.
