>>2042568thank u for the advice, but that (chinese branded items like ztto) is still 5 times more expensive than typical 7 speed chain that I can buy. I've only been comparing chinese or brandless items, if I compare it to premium brands like shimano, scram, etc.... it's XX times more expensive.
well, I just hate being poor I guess. I will get more nice things in the future if I can.
>>2042601I think you're mostly correct. they actually sold off more reputable models like from Giant and Merida at a huge discount (they r not going to sell bikes anymore) a few months ago but I didnt know about it back then, or know anything about bike.
the check up guy will coem tomorrow, can you teach me what to say to him? is there an estimated cost for this BB, if I want to get just an average, reliable BB for my bike?
I don't mind buying upgrades like grips, pedals, saddles and such if it's within my budget. but those components like BB, hubs and shit are so tricky. there are just so many types of them I'm afraid I will get the wrong kind.
maybe my next bike will be 3x7/8 like you advised. maybe it'll be 1x7. or just a single speed commuter normie bike. idk
thank for advice.
