Beware, though - 9000 km is a goddamn long life for a chain, and if the chain was more worn than you thought, it might not mesh well with the cogs and chainrings that have worn to match the old chain. Specifically, the chain is liable to skip on the cassette under load, or be very noisy on the chainrings.
Thank you, I am well aware of that and I check chain wear often to make sure it doesn't ruin my cassette or chainrings. Unless my measuring tool isn't accurate, it should be fine.
