I've purchased a new Cannondale crankset, and new Shimano octalink BB.
I'll be taking them to the LBS to be installed later this week.
In the meantime, I was wondering about the remaining 'old parts.'
I'm thinking about getting a new chain, as well as a new rear cog-set.
(I've currently got an old 7-cog on the back. No idea about brand or
type.)
My thinking is that as long as I'm getting shiny new parts in the front,
I might as well get a nice new chain at least.
Does this make any sense? The bike is quite old, and the chain and rear
cogs are quite dirty. I suspect some of this dirt is actually rust....
Any suggestions on chain?
Any thoughts on new cogs at the back? Can I go to 9 or 10? and what
other expenses would I incur in making that change?
(I have a feeling I'll get the Crankset and BB installed, buy a decent
new chain, then leave the rear cogs to save myself some major hassle...)
Thanks for any suggestions.
