On the subject of replacing chain and sprockets, what is the average mileage for a replacement for a chain?
HoKe-
So hard to gauge..
do you clean it ? how much do you weigh? how do you ride? what gearing? terrain? etc etc etc!
1000-2000 miles for 100% maybe a guide! not helpful...

I usually get 1000-1200 miles out of a chain and sprockets on a 2 speed. When it's too far gone the chain is quite loose on the chainset and can sometimes fall off during the fold.

Always replace chain and sprocket even if it’s not that worn.

Any 8 speed one, kmc one for about £15 is ideal. New chain = new sprockets too though!
