AndreZA Posted May 22, 2009 Share DT, those blades are really a good price. All looks right on target for SA prices. Does the service include a real service r is that what they charged you to fill everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted May 22, 2009 Share Thanks all for your answers. I have wanted to remove my chain for a thorough cleaning a few time but was worried about rejoining. I will get some more quick links and give this a try! Whats the worst that happens? the worst thing tha can happen, is you can't figure out how to rethread the chain. it helps to have a sample bike handy - one more reason to have more than one bike in your diningroom (or where-ever you keep them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 22, 2009 Share Now comes the big question: What chain to replace mine with then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted May 22, 2009 Share Why would the rollers make a different. Sure they will wear out aswell but that does not chow away the teeth of the sprocket like a stretched chain would. Like I said' date=' I am only asking because it makes sence that the rollers inside the chain will also show wear and this is the way a well respected LBS checks for chainwear and as such have used myself for years. When [/quote'] If that is the way your "well respected LBS" checks chains it may be the time to rethink the level of your respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy a lot of goodies from them and loads of referrals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted May 25, 2009 Share Ok, here is an awesome article worth reading. As I'm new to the scene I'm open to opinions and do a lot of research: http://pardo.net/bike/pic/fail-004/000.html I was also not aware how tools measure "stretch" and this article explains them nicely. Will definitely invest in a park-tool stretch indicator EDIT: Check the (biased) wipperman chart too cbrunsdon2009-05-25 13:02:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
