So gave my fatty and full suspension bikes a good clean and a bit of love this afternoon. Thought I would check chain wear and both chains are at 0.75 on two separate wear checkers...so basically need replacement. I can't have 500 miles on each chain. I seem to be eating them alive. I don't ever remember going through chains so quickly with my old 10 speed set up? Is it just me? Chain line is as it should be and everything shifts beautifully with no skipping.

I use Sram X11 (I think) chains on shimano xt 11 speed. Is there a better lasting chain available? Any recommendations?

Cheers
