Hey folks
I'm after some 'what would you do' advice on upgrading the Shimano 2300 groupset on my 5 year old b'Twin Triban 3 (the red one).
It's currently got the triple chainring and the middle one (39 tooth) is worn out. The chain also needs replacing and the cassette has not been replaced before.
LBS has quoted me around £150 for a new chainring, chain, cassette and fitting.
I could take the opportunity to just upgrade the groupset for a bit more money. Do you think it's worth doing that? If so, would there be an upgrade for under £200?
Or I could just order the chainring online and fit it myself for around £20 and hope that ties it over for another year at least, and eventually put the money towards a new bike or more expensive groupset. (I do love the Triban though and am reluctant to spend on a bike upgrade.)
What would you do, any advice?!
Thanks in advance.
