As a rough guide, how often should chains be replaced on geared bikes? And how many chains do you go through before replacing a cassette, again, rough guide? I have a chain-checker but wanted to know if it's worth replacing every XXXkm or so.
Park Tool chain wear indicator a good way of making sure you replace it before it wear out the drivetrain.
