- $15 Sachs PC-41 chain
Your present derailleur should work with this setup. If you don't have the tools and/or expertise to take the freewheel off and set up the brakes and derailleurs with the new controls, having your LBS do the work will probably run you $30 to $40 (where I come from, anyway). If you just needed them to pull the old freewheel so you can thread the new one on, that would probably set you back $5 or less.
Ok last question I promise
This would be an upgrade to a 7spd correct cause of the 7spd freewheel?
I would have to get an LBS to do the work as i'm very bad at installing bike stuff myself
