I have a 3 year old Defy 1. It was 6months old when I bought it.
I average at least 3000 miles per year, so I have done maybe 6000-8000 miles. It was serviced by LBS a month ago with nothing reported chainwise, albeit I did not specifically ask him to investigate same, assuming it would crop up within the normal servicing regime. (He did say it was not 'set up' well?)
I read issues regarding chain wear and tools to measure same, and to be honest, I'm not the most handiest of guys mechanic wise (!)
I occasionally get a little bit of 'slipping' within gear changing, but have put that down to a 'non positive' shift.
What are the tell tale symptoms ?
