Cassette wear

Roughly after how many miles will a cassette be worn leading to a chain slipping? Road cassettes in particular - will a new chain slip on a road cassette which has been used for 100ish miles?
Thanks

My cassette's done about 10000 with no slipping at all.
You'll be fine.0 -
depends what conditions the riding's been in. If it's muddy and gritty, all the drud forms a grinding paste, and will dramatically shorten life.0

My chain snapped before it started skipping. After 5000ish miles. Got a new cassette with the new chain done another 3000 miles no issues. Chain's not even streched this time. Halfords fitted the last chain and I don't think they shortened it at all, the wear was showing much sooner than with this one. Like for like replacements on both.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

On the road that's not really that much of an issue. If anyone can trash a road cassette in 100 miles they deserve an award.
I changed my chain a couple of thousand miles ago and it was fine.0 -
Unless you lubed it with sand, and then used it to grind along the kerb for that 100 miles.0

changed my mountain bike chain which was between 0.75 and 1% worn according to a park tools chain wear guage. I had done about 1,000 miles on the chain with the same cassette. I replaced the chain and its running fine with the old cassette, no skipping at all.
You should be fine - 100 miles is nowt, particularly on-road.0 -

So I replaced the cassette.
Still skipping :roll:
So I put the old stuff back on.
Still skipping!! :roll: :?0 -
And that's why I just wear out my whole transmission and replace it all together, no messing about with measuring chains and hoping they work!0

Last week I bought a new chain still skipping,so bought a new cassette still skipping changed the chain rings perfect.
Chainrings were two years old though.0 -

It's not going on an exitsting drivetrain. Built up my new bike, all new drive train, just need a cassette (found one I wanted but had some miles on it), hence the question.0
