So I went out to a couple of shops Saturday to pick up some parts. I learned some amazing
new things:
"[a 105 8v cassette] may cost twice as much, but it will last three times as long as the Sora."
"If you need to replace the cassette, you will probably have to replace the chain rings too."
"If you ride hard, you'll end up breaking that [SRAM PC 48] chain." --recommending a purchase of a
PC68 to go with my new cassette
Argh! Remind me again why I'm not shopping mail-order?
The worst part is that I got these utterances from two shops I thought I could trust. One was the
satellite location of a commuter-oriented shop I've had very good experiences with, and the other
was at the bike desk at Mountain Equipment Co-op.
