Over the last couple of weeks my bicycle with about 5,000 miles on it has
developed a serious case of chain suck when using the inner chainring. The
bike has 105 components and is a triple chainring by 9sp.
The first attempt to solve the problem was a good cleaning and oiling of the
chain, which didn't work. Next attempt was to replace the chain, and of
course this didn't work. I've since read that the fix is to replace the
chainring. Is this correct?
And a few more questions:
1. In addition to the inner chainring should the middle and outer be
replaced at the same time?
2. Will Ultegra chainrings fit the 105 crank? Will the Ultegra parts last
any longer? Are there advantages other than lightening the billfold?
3. Given that the bike has about 5,000 miles in the last year (yes I'm
averaging 100 miles a week), what else is about to need replacing or
repairing? How long do cassettes last?
Thanks for the help in advance,
