Re: Drive train suggestions, 8, 9 or 10 speed?

Shimano ultegra 10 speed chains are $26 or so. Worried about chain
stretch? Go nuts & replace it every 4-6 weeks along with the rear
cable and housing and the bike will feel new all the time.

While true, campy cogsets and chains are very expensive, as long as you maintain them equally you aren't going to wear a 10-speed drivetrain quicker than a...	chip baker chipbaker2003	Apr 27, 2007 3:33 pm
To clarify, my only experience with "burning through 10" is from other people's comments. Folks who are getting much less life out of chains before...	GeWilli da_real_gewilli	Apr 27, 2007 3:57 pm
Bill, Ask yourself how many gears do you typically use in a cross race. If the answer is a lot, the higher cog count may be better, but I would avoid...	bill@... slickwillybi...	Apr 27, 2007 3:04 pm
The new Centaur stuff looks really great. It works real nice as well. The only difference between Chorus and Centaur (shifting wise) is the bbs in the Chorus...	chip baker chipbaker2003	Apr 27, 2007 3:25 pm
