Okay, I’ve just spent two hours cleaning my bike, installing the new cassette and then putting on the new chain. Most of the time was spent degreasing the rear derailleur and chainset which were in an awful state. The actual process of fitting the new cassette, wheel and chain were very easy.
I’ve also fitted some new pads on the rear which I will need to adjust tomorrow as they are a little tight.
Tomorrow I will take the beast out for a spin. The new Deore hub makes a nice ticking sound which is slightly unnerving as the old one was completely silent.
