Ive got a claud butler rock mtb. I use it when go out for rides with the family and my commuter ( 4miles a day ). Its getting old 12 yrs now and ive only ever put bb kit and headset bearing on it oh and some brake blocks. Now it feels as if its holding me back a bit now and the wheels dont appear to run as smooth as they should. All the cables are slightly rusty and the chain creaks and groans when loading it up when up hill. So I guess it needs some tlc. Also when I pedal and then stop but the bike still moving some times the chain gets pushed round via the rear wheel. Is this the free wheel hub partial ceized? Also I know it wants wheel bearings and a new sprocket and chain. How do I go about matching them all up? And is this going to be cost affective? Now if it is how do I know what bearings I need for my wheels? I need my bike every day so I want to buy the bearings so I have them before I strip it down so I only have to do it once. What are my options? I thing my gear is shimano ultegra
