Chain replacement intervals

[mustang1]

Do some of you guys throw away the old chain and just use a new one, or do you keep the old one so you have a 2-chain rotation?

Old one get's binned.

Old one is binned. I only do two chains on the full suspension, but both chain's aren't old. This is because of the absolute state the chains get in after a muddy ride. Soak the filthy one in degreaser and fit the clean chain to a cleaned up cassette. It's more an experiment to prolong chainring and cassette life as both are quite expensive on that bike.
