Hello (first post!)
Ive been riding many years and more recently (last few years) racing competitively ect. But in all that time I havent been able to get a clear answer to how long/how many Km/Miles we should get out of our drivetrains main components, such as the Cassette/Block, chain, chainrings/chainwheels, rear derailleur pulley/jocky wheels, Freewheel, hub, headset ect. All the main expensive stuff!
Heres what I think is a good 'ballpark' number for what to expect
from Ultegra 'mid top end' components.
Chainset/rings --------- 20-22,000 Km (then they're totalled and skipping and sharp to touch!)
Chain 3000Km ---------- at this distance it would be just before it began to accelerate wear on the cassette, but to get to a 'ragged' skipping state maybe 10-12,000Km (dont really know!) or 3-4 chains for 1 cassette ????
Cassette---------------- Here's where Im confused.... .Ive never seen a 'spiky' badly worn cassette!! do they even get like that , and if so how long would it take in KM/miles for to get in the condition of the chainrings like above all spiky and skipping on on rings when out of saddle?
As for hubs (think...DT Swiss/Mavic Kysrm Elites) the DT swiss 20,000Km+ , the Mavics....I have no idea! at a wild guess 23-25,000Km??
Freewheels----------------20,000Km or so before it dies and nearly casterates you on the crossbar!
JOcky/Pulley wheels---------------no clue what so ever...again how many Km before they gey to the sharp to touch stage???
maybe 30-35,000km??????
I want to get 'a guide to replacement parts' on here for others to refer to!
So whats your experience been with these road components??
