The chain, cassette and chainrings are a combo. If your chain is worn then they are too.
That's not true. If you change the chain early enough, cassette and chainrings will last for a couple of chains. If you ride with a worn chain, the other components wear at an accelerated rate.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoChainrings will last for more than "a couple of chains". In the touring world, one is usually advised to replace the chain every 2500 km or so. A steel chainring, however, should easily give you 20,000 km of life.
- Matthias247 6y agoRight. My rule of thumb is about 3 chains for 1 cassette and set of chainrings. Where one chain was about 2500km.
