AintDoody's post prompted me to ask...

With just over 1,000 miles on it, I'm getting ready to take my pony in for it's first annual maintenance/tune-up. Aside from the shop's basic maintenance package, I'm planning to have all of the brake and shift cables replaced. So...

- I've read that the chain should be replaced approximately every 1k miles, but one of my bike techs told me that's not really necessary and would probably require also replacing the cogset. The cogs don't seem worn, but I'll have the tech check them just in case. If my chain's not stretched, is it necessary to replace it yet?

- What else should I have checked, aside from cable tension and bolt tightness?

- Any general recommendations as I prep for the coming season?

Thanks!
