I would, and I may still, but the original chain still seems to be in great shape. It's not rusted, and according to my gauge it's not stretched either.
I reused the hub bearings because I didn't know what size the balls were and it's not much work to get into a hub. I was leaning towards replacing the bottom bracket bearings because it's considerably more work to get at. I want a bike that will be low-maintenance for several years.
I'll clean them up and see what they look like.
Edit: I just cleaned the drive side bearing and found a very deep gouge on one of the balls. I'm off to find replacements.
