Not when it’s preserving my chain rings too
I find chain rings last forever. I’ve only ever replaced them due to upgrades and the old ones never look particularly worn.
Cassettes, too many. Though I’m leaning towards ignoring the frequent chain replacement idea as I still find I need a new cassette if I do change the chain else it skips, but if I leave it on there it’s actually working fine so why not run it into the ground and change both when they really need it.
Okay maybe I’ll be changing chain rings then, but they’re cheap and I only have one of them to change.
And my other theory is, clutch mech will deal with slack chains slapping about due to wear over time. Maybe.
