Having had my Road bike for a year on the original chain and cassette and probably covered about 2000 miles, whilst in my LBS today I got the chain checked and it was just below max stretch etc.
The guys there advised to change the chain at the same time as the cassette,obviously this adds a larger expense to the whole package.
What sort of mileage do you folks get from your chains and cassettes and do you always change both together?
Secondly I have a shimano cassette and the LBS advised to only use a shimano chain..I've been told that KMC chains are more hardier..Is there a problem using a new KMC 10 speed chain with a new 10 speed shimano cassette?
cheers..Dean
