Good Morning folks, newbie here, I having been reading the forum for a while and can see the valuable advice you guys give. I am hoping you can help me out. I have returned to cycling after many many years and have been fortunate enough to have been given 2 very nice bikes from my very generous friend. They are a Specialized Sirrus hybrid and a Giant Defy 3.5 road bike.
I have ridden the hybrid and it is running very well however I took the road bike for a spin yesterday and the gears were terrible. I was buzzing after the ride yesterday and really want to get into Road biking. My neighbour has had a go at tweaking then but they are still not engaging properly.
It looks as if the rear cage is bent and the cogs seem very worn, he has changed the chain but still clunky and jumping.
The bike is 10 years old and is in very good condition, would it be worth investing in a complete new chain set and if so what sort of money would I be looking at ? Tia x
