Chain wear - when to replace

[EebStrider]

Almost 50 miles since waxing my chain and it's still quiet. I am hoping to get 100-150 miles. It looks as though the driest April for many years suits a waxed chain. View attachment 59190

Is that all you expect to get out of a chain? I’d be going through two chains a week at the moment, if that’s the case!

So, as I need to stock up, is this chain correct for my E160RS?

Very good!!! that's 100-150 miles before having to re-wax the chain, if it is dry I would like to think more. As far as I can see the GX Eagle is not a hollow pin chain, and it looks out of stock. I would suggest using Mantel if you cant find one locally to you, although I noticed that Ace Bikes are in your part of the country and that's where I got my E150rs. Good guys there !
