I have a freshly cleaned and waxed SRAM PC-991 (that has about 1,000 miles on it) all ready to go. Changing it out takes like 3 minutes using the Park Tools quick link pliers. I’m really hoping that will bring an end to my drama.
I actually own the Morningstar freehub cone disassembly tool that permits you to remove the cone at the top of the freehub body... if it turns out my pawls are slipping and this is the cause of the slippage issue, I will be temporarily inconvenienced but will enjoy actually being able to say that I (will) have rebuilt a Dura Ace 7700 titanium freehub body.
By new chain we meant new from manufacturer. Not new to the bike.
A chain can last longer than 1,000 miles, but depending on maintenance and riding conditions it also can last less.
