You’ll want to get a chain checker to make sure it needs replaced

According to my fancy new tool, my chain is at 1% wear and needs to be replaced.

I would have to double check my Mac, but my uptime is well over this. Probably around 3 months.

Thanks, will do.

The pads rub on my rim after using them. We adjusted them so they would not, but then on the ride home I realized that now the cable is too loose and comes out of the adjustment knob at the handle. So several times while trying to stop my rear brakes were not working. The front brakes worked great, but also rub after use.

I have a chain cleaner arriving today, with my chain checker. So I will get the chain all cleaned up along with my cassette and front cogs before I try waxing.

Made it to the bike clinic, got my chain oiled, I know counter to the point of this thread. But my tools will be here early next week and I will give the waxing a try. Until then, an oiled chain will keep me riding.

Next I need to fix my rear brakes.

Cool bike!

I wish it had disc brakes, but I am fond of it otherwise.

I am guessing since the chain you linked is a 7 speed, these 7 speed quick links will work. https://kmcchain.us/collections/7-speed-under-missing-link

Monty Python also has a good response:

The horrors persist, but so do i.

I ordered a chain checker today.

Closest bike shop is ~90 miles away. But I found out there is a bike clinic at the university in town. Going to head up there Wednesday afternoon.

But my bike is a Specialized Hardrock 21 speed.

Sadly my local bike shop is 90 miles away, and is now a delivery only grocery store. I will take the chain with me the next time I go to the city.

Crowded room was interesting. I would not call it bad.

chain wear doesn’t just affect the chain itself; once a chain stretches past a certain point, it can accelerate wear on the cassette and chainrings too.

I had no idea. Then again i have never had a bike more than a couple years before it is stolen. I think i will replace my chain as I get my bike ready to use this year. Now how do I know what chain to use?

I have been looking at getting an InMotion RS Jet, the XT5 looks more in line with what I need, but there is no mention of its weight limit (found it on the manufacturer’s site Max. Payload 150kg（331lbs)).

I do like the adjustable ride height, and suspension tension of the RS Jet, but I am unsure is that is worth the price difference.

Thanks. I kicked sugary drinks with the caffeine in '15. But still have a hard time with it in general. I will go months with none, then I get an urge for something and before I know it I am Augustus Gloop.

Alcohol, cannabis, and methamphetamine free since '95. Nicotine free since '03. Caffeine free since '15.

Now if I could kick sugar.

Which Air is that? I just looked at the current m5 Air, entry level everything is $1099 USD, i am guessing the one you saw was an older model.

It is $599 + tax for me in Yankee Doodle land.
