I don't think anything is nuts. The amount of things I have seen would probably shock some of you but is quite normal in my day to day bike life. Replacing chain and cassette is pretty common unless the chain is replaced early than sure but the more things wear the more things wear. Don't underestimate someone simply because of age.
