@Igor M:
You should replace the chain when it becomes stretched, not because you rode this and that distance.
@TS25's rule: "Get a caliper (possibly a digital one), and measure the distance between centre pins of 10 consecutive chain links. 127 mm is for a brand new chain, 128 mm indicates the need of replacement, 129 mm means the stretched chain has probably already damaged some cassette cogs".

Select the 138 link version.
