|   Worn Cassette | noname
Jan 4, 2004 1:05 AM | | I think I waited too long to swap chains and my cassette is toast. I am going to try putting on a new chain and hope it works. If the new chain doesnt skip, will I be damaging it making it wear quicker because of the worn cassette?
Also, what other drivetrain parts should I replace when i get a new cassette?
Thanks |

Chain life varies dramatically depending on where you ride. I ride in pretty sloppy conditions, and therefore change my chain twice per season, and install a new cassette every year. Other people in drier climates, may extend these times accordingly. |
