- Wippermann Connex - Clean chains last longer. Wipperman connector link makes proper cleaning quick and easy IMO. |

Where are you looking VW? http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k513/a ... l?mfid=580 Dill, SRAM, KMC and other also have the 'quick link' so taking the chain on and off is easy. Only Shimano have the annoying pin that can only be used once. They claim that it makes a stronger chain. |

This interests me. Had new drivetrain/chain & jockey wheels beginning of Oct.I clean & degrease as I too like a shiny drivetrain. 3 months in & chain is fecked, cassette showing wear. I do similar mileage, roughly 40 miles a week. Had sram last time but went xt this time. Jockey wheels look like throwing stars, lower one is sharp. My chain length etc is ok, had it checked. Confusing |

Sounds like your chain line might be too extreme Pedal-worx racing |

I get through a chain a year on average - probably about 1000k on the mtb - 2000k on the road bike - newer 11sp chains deffo stretch more readily than old 9spd. |
