Default MTB - Need new chain + cassette


Muddy events at Westgate dirt crits or some earlier Fat Tyre Flyer
events this yr can really shorten that drivechain life span.

I've yet to master the - replace the chain multiple times to get extra
life out of your cogs - without having it jump/skip on the first up
hill.

I've noticed some MTB slicks can be real thin (not skinny thin, but
depth between the raod & rim thin), which can really reduce your
overall gearing.
I run Specialised Hemishpere 2.0 tyres on my MTD commuter & find this
combo good on my Specialised Stumpjumper running stnd 27spd group on
the 'Bay ride in previous years.
