Hello, I have an old Giant Euro hybrid (?) bike which has 21 speed Biopace chainrings etc. My son used it for a number of months and when the chain started slipping, did nothing about it, so now you can't really get any traction at all.
I'd now like to use it to cycle to the shops etc with a trailer and I'm looking to replace any or all of the drivetrain but not sure what to get: I'm presuming the cassette will be trashed, along with between 1 and 3 of the front chainrings plus chain.
I would assume that the front and rear mechs wont necessarily be ruined?
What I don't know, and get bogged down whenever I've tried to resolve this, is out of all of the hg/sg/ etc etc stuff, what is compatible?
I can easily do the mechanics, just that I lose the will to live with all the shimano options.
Can anyone offer any guidance on a 7 speed cassette and front chainrings. I would plan to get this from eBay or wherever...?
Many thanks
