I was woundering should i replace my chain after say 5000km, as it is
probably stretched, cost only $30 odd.
Then that will help reduce the wear of the cogs. as they are dearer
this will help them last longer.
Thanks

It might still be OK after 5000km depending possibly on how clean you
kept it and what gears you use the most.Quoted message said:

are supposed to last the lifetime of several chains.
