Hi all,
Having just had new chain and cassette fitted after 4500 commuting miles i was having a thought as to how i could better spread wear over the cassette but im struggling.I have triple up front and only use the middle chainring and 8sp in back and use gears 3,4,5 and sometimes 6 if fast downhill/tailwind etc.These gears keep me in the 80-95 rpm range which is where im most comfortable.So what do you guys do,same,similar or something different??I suppose i cant complain getting 4500miles out of a chain and cassette and could have done more really,was having no shifting issues etc just wanted it done after the winter before something packed in lol.Had all cables done too.bike is cleaned weekly and babywiped after each commute.
