i would be pretty upset if i only got 1,000 miles on a chain! have you been checking them for elongation/wear and replacing at .5%?

 

[vado4.0]

Yes, not upset shimano cn lg-500 126 link chain is $23.00

 

[Stefan Mikes]

So what was the point of going with the Linkglide in the first place?

 

[vado4.0]

Hopefully longevity, still an experiment, shifts better than HG

over 4,000 miles out of shimano linkglide cassette, Lg 400 11 speed, just changed it out to Lg 700 11 with a new chain too, hopefully shimano will have replacement cogs for us in the usa, now have over 10,000 miles on the Vado Sl 5.0
