HaHa - good point. I’m a stubborn one who tries longer than logical to make incompatible parts functional.
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.

A chain can last longer than 1,000 miles, but depending on maintenance and riding conditions it also can last less.

There are only 4 accurate change checkers. shimano makes 2 and the Pedros' Chain checker plus 2 and the cheapest is a good ruler. All of the others take in roller wear which has not effect of chain performance.
