I'm completely new to road biking and just bought a second hand bike. It turns out to be in a lot worse condition than I realised and I need to replace the rear cassette, the chain, the chain rings and the bearing. I've been quoted £180 for this. I'm thinking of trying to fix this myself to save money.
Problem is I neither have the tools nor the experience. Do you think this level of repair work is feasible for an amateur. Would it be cost effective for me to do it myself given I would have to buy all the parts and also the tools required.
If you were in my shoes would you just spend the £180 and get the pros to do it?
