Saturday, October 26, 2024 - Used up bike parts - wore these out
 |
| The Dura-Ace rear cassette and chain are both worn out. I cleaned them both. Kind of a representation of the history of the bike I've ridden for the last 11 or 12 years & about 20,000 miles. |
 |
| I cleaned the parts by soaking in Simple Green. Surprisingly, the parts got more "crusty" soaking in Simple Green. Will not do that again. Will buy some solvent/cleaner specifically for cleaning metal parts. |
 |
| I must have spent a lot of time on this 15 tooth gear. There's one tooth on the 3-O'clock position that's so worn that it's almost a point. The dip between the teeth should be about a half circle or ellipse shape but the dip before the sharp tooth is more like a French curve shape. |
