I put a bunch of miles on my new / used bike in the past few months and the chain started skipping and dropping. I brought it in and had the same convesation with lbs... I decided to do both. Why not? It's cheaper than car repair and I ride the darn thing near every day!
My dh thought it was excessive, though. Oh well. Worth it to me. I'm doing a century next weekend and I want that bike in ship shape.

That's what I thought - doing 250miles next week I just didn't want to take the risk (plus the cassette did look pretty worn). Bike running smooth as a baby's bottom now!
One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

I finally changed my chain last night. It was pretty easy with a sram chain. I took her on a whopping 14 mile ride today- I just wanted to be close to home if my work undid itself.
Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!
