thanks, i plan this january taking things apart and re-greasing everything.
learned the hard way about chain inspection/maintenance, on my other bike had a chain snap during a hard sprint from a stop light lost control a bit, recovered and coasted to the side. so happy it didnt get caught in the spokes. it was a full on standing sprint hands in the drops weight over the front wheel and SNAP.
luckily it was at the end of my fitness ride and only had 2 miles to walk home.
