I have a 2010 Kona Cindercone which i have owned since new and done about 6000 miles on it (5627 since getting strava) and it is absolutely battered i have dragged it along as far as i can, i really need to do something about the drivetrain its slipping like crazy i haven't been able to use the big ring for a while and its now slipping the chain in most gears.
To be totally honest i have never even cleaned it let alone serviced it which i know it terrible but its done pretty well considering.
My plan was to go all out and treat it to a nice GRX group set etc but i don't have the funds right now so i want to try and keep it going for cheaper and try and get it through another winter, i have been riding it every day since September and done about 3000 miles in that time i really don't want to be without it.
It is 9 speed with a 3x FSA Alpha Drive crankset 44/32/22, 11-32 cassette, deore front derailleur and SLX rear derailleur (i think anyway they are no longer very identifiable)
It seems like a cassette is obtainable and a chain but the chain rings i am having some trouble with i have never had to buy any drivetrain components before and i don't really understand what is compatible with what, it seems like i am gunna struggle to get chain rings for this.
Can anybody help me solve this? if it is solvable that is.
Thanks
