I once had a 9 speed chain wear out in less than 200 miles on my recumbent trike (ICE Qnt).
I put it down to a faulty chain (x3)/cassette as they were all new.
The replacements are still going strong 3yrs later (over .5 but not yet .75).
I ride around 34-40miles a day (17.6 miles each way + some pootling around).
The drive system gets cleaned monthly-ish but lubed and wiped clean weekly.
Edited due to typo's.
