bike overhaul shopping list, comments appreciated
I need to overhaul the mountain bike i've been commuting with for over a year and a half. it never had much maintenance so a lot of things are overdue. i'm posting my shopping list below to get feedback. tell me if something is awful or if its overkill. (yes, i've already considered a whole new bike. i'd rather go this route)
oh, also - a good source for axles? i can't find them at nashbar or performance. recommendations on a chain tool that gives a .5 wear reading? mine only does .75/1.0 but i should change my chains more frequently.
Shimano (is it worth the extra money?)
