After weeks of clunky changes and "auto-changes" and banged shins (it developed a mind of its own) I changed the cassette and chain the other day (am well proud of mesen )
anyway, the difference is a-maz-ing! I'm well happy BUT not 100% happy. The front derailleur is showing it all up now, front changes are bad and the chain's been off a couple of times and no amount of readjusting has got it just-right.
Should I change the chainset as well? Or maybe the mech itself? They're not too dear, I notice (derailleurs), but changing it scares me - is it easy? I see just one allen key bolt holding it on the down tube.
I don't think I tackle the chainset myself (lack of tools) so would I (a technical numbty) be able to do either job? Should I bother?
I even considered going single speed at the front - do away with the front mech; what about that for an option?
Opinions and advice please
