[Closed] Worth shelling out on expensive cassettes?

Only cassette I've managed to eek out more than one chain from is XTR M980. XT wouldn't even take a new chain after 5 months.

[i]I run xtr with an xtr cassette. The engineering is superb and I get a kick out of it every time I use it. I sit on my arse all day in the rat race, drive a crap car and feel happy spoiling myself.

I use a chain bath and replace the chain at 75% wear. On 3rd chain so far.

Me too. Although after breaking my XTR crankset a couple of weeks ago I'm currently slumming it with an XT I had lying around 🙂
