Checkout: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/chains.html and look up chain stretch or go to http://bicycletutor.com/chain-wear/. Bicycle tutor is a good site for videos for maintainance and Sheldon for almost every bit of information you will ever need. I have these two sites in my favourites. A new chain is better and cheaper than a new cassette if you let your chain wear get too much. And if it gets too much it may even run to new chainrings as well |
