There's also allowance in there for: a set of cable outers and inners (I usually chew through a few RHS inners in 10K but I have a big box of them) ; most of a wheel rebuild (usually the rear ), and for proportion of the set of bearings (wheels, headset, BB).2wheels_mond wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 6:53 am
$600 per 10,000km? On 8 speed? That seems like a lot - back of the envelope calcs seems like my costs (of consumables) are about half that using 12-speed and high-end tyres (2x M6100 chains, $40 each, 1.5 Pirelli P Zero Race TLR tyres, $100 each, 0.5 105 R7100 cassettes, $70).

Cheers, thanks for the info. Sounds like you get pretty good bang for buck.blizzard wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 10:13 pmDepends on how dirty it gets, probably about 10000km.
For dry riding no need to use boiling water, I just give it a wipe with isopropyl alcohol or method whilst on the bike to get ride of surface dust and then pop off and wax.
It's only wet riding really needs a boiling water bath, out the chain in a tub of boiling water wait a couple minutes then agitate then dump the water, do it, 3x and then dry the chain and re-wax. I have found adding a dash of laundry liquid to the first bath sems to clean better.

Makes sense, thanks.

Thanks for the link. That looks like a good option - however it only lists 8-12 speed options and the Campag Ekar is 13 speedPost by warthog1 » Thu Apr 11, 2024 3:37 pm

Novice question - does anyone wax with a Campagnolo drivetrain? The quick links for an Ekar chain are marked for one use. And a replacement C link is nearly $30(!). Do people reuse the C-link?

He does I found it interesting though. No other method of lube compares from a wear perspective. He does show some drip lubes you can use with immersive waxes too, so try again

I do with 12-speed and can use KMC or SRAM Eagle links. But with 13-speed Ekar I think you're out of luck.
