Back in my shop day we had guys from each school of thought, the ride it untill it skips guys and the replace the chain frequently guys. The ride it untill it skipped guys would go 10-12K miles and replace the chain and cassette and replace the chainrings around 25K. The other guys would replace chain every 3-4K miles and a cassette every 10-12K but wouldn't need to replace chainrings. Money wise it was a wash.
