Post how to measure prop wear
I've seen people talk about how far gone their prop is. How do you go about measuring to see just how far your prop is worn.

Also, what part is the crucial part that gets worn to where you need to replace it? Is it the surface area of the blade face, the cup, or something else?

Tip to Tip. Prodrive props are 12-1/4" I'm not sure about the other MM's. Some one else can help you with that. What motor are you running??
