Is there a way to measure cassette wear?

well i guess if your next chain wears out at a super fast rate then you can guess its buggered - thats the expensive way of finding out like i did

I work on the old rule that if the outgoing chain has 0.5% stretch or more then the cassette goes with it.

if a new chain skips is the only way I know.

I have 2-3 PG990 cassettes in my spares, but don't know/can't remember how many miles they've done (not that many is my guess!), guess I can just give each one a go with a new chain and see what happens!

I go by looking at the teeth and seeing if they have heavy indent/lips on the teeth

if it slips, it's for the skip(s)

I think the general technique used on the classifieds is:
Look at it - if it still has teeth then its in good condition and has only covered 50 miles.
