new freewheel before doing the transam
Hello,
i'm planning to do the transam route(4400mi). My current freewheel and chain been used <2000 miles and are in good condition.
Is it critical chage them before the start of the tour?
thanks,
Pacho

If you have any concerns, buy a new chain before you leave - they're cheap. The cassette should be fine. However, you should pass plenty of bike shops enroute in case you need a new chain along the way.
