DH Chains

[rockofullr]

Chains wear quicker than cassettes, the more worn the chain, the quicker the cassette wear. By swapping chains your slowing the cassette wear. Your also not then putting a new chain(if you change it quick enough as UDI stated)on a half worn cassette causing wear on the new chain(possibly a negligible effect, but for arguments sake).

To each his own I guess. I avoid excessive cassette wear by replacing chains well before they reach .75. If a cassette is so worn that a new chain skips on it then it is time for a replacement.

Yeah man, do what you want, I was just explaining why I do it. I'm actually doing 3 chains, just tried making it seem simpler. Guessing you might be able to squeeze 4.
