Have had a few very unsuccessful off road SS rides and decided it’s just not for me – love it on road but I find that off-road terrain changes too much for you to keep the momentum going unless riding something really smooth! So it’s time to fork out and replace my nackered gears.

I need to replace: jockey wheels (older style Deore XT mech), cables, chain, chainrings (32t and 24t I believe) and cassette (34-11 at the minute). Probably just sticking with Shimano as I already have the mechs and shifters. Is it worth getting those full length Gore gear cables to stop the crap getting in?

fairly good deal on a chain

not tried gore gear but really like xtr cables with sp41, you can buy 10m of sp41 at parker int too, some other stuff not badly priced either
