Okay, This is an update for the previous blog.
I dropped my cycle to get serviced and the entire reason why the gears weren't shifting properly was because the cassette is totally mangled as well as the chain which has been stretched out quite a bit.
The cassette consists of different gears you can shift on your cycle. The cassette is a collective term as the individual gears are called sprockets. The problem with my older cassette is that the teeth on the sprockets are bent and twisted as well as the bearing that the cassette sits on is worn out.
The hanger is a bit bent as well but since the hanger is much more expensive than the derailleur, The mechanics will hammer it back into shape and fine-tune the gears so that it shifts smoothly.
The best part about the entire service is that the new cassette is entirely chromed which gives out a shiny look to the cycle. I am excited about the new cassette and cannot wait to see how it's going to look on my cycle but I also do know for a fact that the cycle will feel refreshed, Not necessarily new but like it's been revamped.
The new parts aren't upgrades but they're the same parts I had on the cycle when I got it but this time they're a bit better when it comes to durability.
I'll be getting the cycle back on Saturday and I cannot wait to break it in on Sunday morning.
Also, There will be new blogs every two days instead of posting every day.
