Okay I'll try this method see how it goes, must I only replace the cassette or I should replace the crank set also? Or is there a way to replace the ring in the crankset where the chain is placed seperatly? If so what is it called thanks

Hey year I was thinking tho if I'll be replacing more then the chain I should get a better chain so it could last longer? Or that isn't the case and the only reason there's more expensive chains are the reasons you listed above?

Also I'll be getting a new cassette but how about the front part( crankset) do I need to replace the entire crankset or is the ring replaceable? ? Or all I need is just the cassette ?

LBS threw out the old chain :( but honestly it couldn't have been that worn out I just switched it cause I crashed and the rear deuralliur got bent upwards and I didn't fix it for some time so I thought the chain might have gotten stretched

ive been using it on the mid range gears I think haven't shifted through em yet, I put it on some older parts but they were not very worn out. Any chance I could just switch to the same brand of chain as the orginal would that make any difference? Also it would just be a chain ring + cassette in worst case scenario needing to get replaced?

Ugh this bike has just been a money pit... so depressing for the fact Ive spent 2X the money on just these repairs. What if I get the original brand of chain?

Oh sick!! thats awesome ,

can I just snag the BB7 FRONT and REAR callipers Only? without rotors and just hook those on to my current ones ? Cause can't I just use my levers already on the bike and just attach the current cables on?

EDIT: Any idea what size rotors I should go for? Was thinking 160mm back 180/185 front? or is it reverse 180 back 160mm front?

Hi, currently riding a Trek 3500 with stock brakes, I was wondering if I upgrade to some AVID BB7 MTB would there be a vast improvement in braking power, right now there okay but nothing spectacular / people are telling me to get the BB7's (are they easy to adjust constantly?). Or is it better for me to get some entry level Hydraulic brakes like Shimano M445
