Replace whole chainset if replace front chainring?
Thanks for your advice, everyone. I've just placed an order for Shimano LX
M571 splined crankset and a 121mm LX ES51 splined BB. Goody! Jack. "andres muro" wrote in message om... you should be able to replace the broken chainring w/o any problems. the rest of your drivetrain should continue to work fine. Andres "Daniel Kelly \(AKA Jack\)" wrote in message ... Hi, I need to replace my front chainring 'cause it's broke. Will I have to replace my entire chainset? People have told me that the entire chainset stretches with use and so if you replace one component, you have to replace the whole lot. I've probably used my bike for at least 1000 rides. Thanks, Jack PS - this thread is related to my one below asking "Fractured front cog?" |

Thanks, Jack PS - this thread is related to my one below asking "Fractured front cog?" Note that the term "chainset" is usually used to denote left crank, right crank/spider and chainrings. I think you mean should you change I thought this was the "crankset"? .... It is. It's the chainset too. |

I've gotten over 15k miles out of a chain when I sold the bike it was on. Keeping it clean and lubed is important. If all you do is lube your dirty chain, then 1k miles is a lot. There was a recent semi-scientific experiment done by one rec.bicycles person which makes that advice questionable. He used a chain with two quicklinks; he cleaned & lubed half the chain regularly, and the other half he just kept adding lube without cleaning. The cleaned half was slightly (barely) _more_ worn than the half that was not cleaned. -- Rick Onanian |
