Hi,
My gen 1 has a paltry 130k miles on it and so far rear chains have averaged out at about 40k each albeit with front sprocket changes around 12k and rears 20k.
I have had various makes.
This year i bought the most expensive one yet at around £160 for a tsubaki 4160 ha sgx sigma sealed x ring gold chain plus renthal sprockets, the rear being a ' hard anodised ' version.
The rear sprocket is a lightweight one.
The problem is that i am constantly adjusting the chain and have been since day 1 and it is beginning to seem shagged at only 11k miles!
Variables here are;

Variables here are;
- 1st time purchase of a tsubaki chain
- 1st time with these type of sprockets
- 1st time purchased from ' Intobikes'
- 1st time i have fitted chain and sprockets myself( have previously fitted sprockets only).
