I'm a bike newfag so prepare for some dumb questions.
I just bought a Schwinn Crosscut from around the early '90s, and I think it needs a chain replacement. I have a Parktool CC3.2 and it easily slides into the chain at .50, you need to lightly press it into the chain at .75 but it also fits. I also noticed today when doing a second ride that it was really slow on shifting the front gears so I'm inclined to believe my chain tester. Pic rel is the chain test, I didn't realize the picture was so poor.
I couldn't see any markings on the chain so I have no clue what brand it is, what size it is, etc etc. Any comprehensive chain guides out there for me to figure this crap out?
Also, I've gone on 2 pretty mild (~1 mile) test rides and the handlebars hurt my hands and the saddle hurt my ass. The first hurt more than the second so maybe I just need to acclimate to it, but if it continues to be uncomfortable any suggestions for affordable replacement handlebar grips & saddles? I looked at dailycycling or something and their saddle suggestions were insanely expensive.
