How long does the SRAM GX Eagle Transmission MTB Group last between services?

With regular cleaning and proper setup, expect SRAM GX Eagle Transmission MTB Group to deliver 8,000-12,000 km of high performance. MTB drivetrains take more abuse than road groupsets — replace the chain when it stretches past 0.5% (use a chain checker). Cassette and chainring wear depend on chain condition. Brake pads typically last 1,500-3,000 km depending on terrain and riding style.
