Nice blog by the way.
This SRAM 971 has been used for a few months of commuting and treated to the Mickle method and dry ceramic lube:

With all due respect Aushiker, and you are due a lot, I think it's really admirable that you've put so much time and effort into documenting the wear rate of each and every chain you've used and that you put so much time and effort into degreasing, rinsing, rinsing, rinsing and re-lubing them.
But it's only a bloody bicycle chain, a consumable, disposable item. If, instead of all this hard work and dedication, you'd simply adopted The 'KMC Method' you'd have had enough spare time to have had a life. Isn't life just too short and precious for all these shenanegans?
BTW. How do you dispose of your degreaser once it's been contaminated?
A couple of hundred, three hundred tops, but Autumn mileage.Thanks.
Nice outcome. Any idea of the mileage?

Interesting link on Aushiker's blog to a piece about the accuracy (or otherwise) of chain wear measuring tools.

Agreed, I think you need a hobby, something to get you out of the house and meeting people.
