How long my wearing parts lasted!

[Shifty]

Ok my Giant Pro+3 2019.
Wear list at 1900k since Mid Sept Oct 2019 when I bought it new.

1. At 1000k new pads (should be earlier)
2. Rear hanger, mech at 1000k (accident)
3. Rear hub ratchet 1100k (spinning cassette) warranty
4. 1900k replacement chain, rear cassette. (Totally shagged and slipping)
5. 1900k hanger replaced at same time as chain.

Fairly meaningless numbers without knowing exactly what the wear parts you're referring to actually are, your riding style, weight, fitness level, riding skill level. and typical use (including riding conditions), typical climbing/descending elevation, technicality of terrain and drivetrain maintenance/cleaning regime.

Plenty folk have worn out a set of brake pads in one day riding normal bikes at 24 hour events in attrocious conditions or riding lift assisted DH. Whereas plenty others get many thousands of miles from one set.

Whenever someone quotes their distances ridden in km I always have to converty to mileage.
Never really understood why UK cyclists use Km.

1km grid squares on OS maps. Makes distance estimation easier.

Fair enough
But why "Estimate" with all the digital mapping technology readily available in this day and age?

My Garmin Watch adds up the K's for me on the e-mtb as the added kit.

I have never run out of battery with a paper map, nor been let down by total reliance on a GPS signal. Major reason for callouts to my local (Ochils) Mountain Rescue Team was just these.

And how many of those were Emtb riders?

I thought shift had gone nudist (how long my wearing pants lasted) Should read things properly

 

[KennyB]

And how many of those were Emtb riders?

None. None were MTBers either. Most were totally inexperienced in all matters outdoors and woefully ill equipped, which is kind of the point I didn't make.

 

[Gary]

I'm far too hungover to understand what point you were making at all.

I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw any mtb rider out in the hills using a paper map.

How long is too long?

 

[Gary]

is that a urinal trough?

Yes and they are taking it for a wash after a 50.000 viewers soccer game ?.
No, its a rain water collector for a roof I guess..,
