here is my "logic"......I bought my bike used...its an 07, and didnt have alot of miles.
I purchased a new wheelset, and am getting ready to put them on the bike, then I thought about the cassette and chain and maintenance.
Since I dont know the exact mileage of the old cassette and chain I figured when I put the new wheelset on, I would put a new cassette and chain on. That way, I know the EXACT mileage on each component and can keep track with maintenance...extending the life of ALL three components.
I'm not a moron
and would not consider replacing the wheelset EVERYTIME I changed the cassette and chain......that's not what I was asking.
