I bought a chain wear tool this evening when I was picking up the tyres.

And yes the bike needs another wash after todays ride. |
In the winter around 1500 miles on a 11 speed 105 chain before it hits .75% wear then it gets changed. It gets a quick clean and sparing lube at 700-800 miles and that's it, I've tried cleaning and lubing more frequently and it makes no difference. Top tip always remove as much excess lube as possible, it's the internals that need the lube any on the outside just holds dirt and grit which gunks up derailleurs and causes wear.
