Howdy,

Doing a tour with a buddy in hawaii in a few weeks and guess what happens? Rear derailluer catches on the wheel and cracks! I just noticed my cranksets are in lousy shape and those need to be replaced.

What brand/parts exactly would you guys suggest? I'm totally lost on the subject.

Budget of $400 and doing touring on a Trek 520 (one with the busted derailluer). Same friend will install the parts but I need to know what to buy! I keep hearing "mountain bike gearing for touring" but have no idea what that means.

I need parts though - ordering by next week.

Thanks a bunch,

Marska
