I heard a clunking noise when I put the bike on the trainer. Changed out spindles, pedals, etc., and then took her to to the hospital. A little history, a new bb(warranty) and chain and cassette on 5/2003 for a mountain tour. Since I put 3000 miles on the bike in 2002-2003 without needing new stuff, I didn't realize that different type of mileage does different things to a chain. I did a lot of climbing this year, so...... I needed a new cassette, middle chain ring, chain, bottom bracket cleaned and new spindle. ALL OF THIS FOR ONLY $29.00 + the new chain ring which is on order. I usually tip (this time $25 which is way less than the price of labor) thanks to a thread in BF about taking care of your mechanics. So, it is now the mileage, it is the type of mileage. This year Santa will be putting a Park Tool to measure chain stretch in my stocking.
