it's time to replace the chain, what all should be replaced?

[game_warden2]

Hi everyone had a question about Yuma AZ. I may be taking a job with the Border Patrol out of Yuma AZ. I am wondering if anyone has any information on the area. Can anyone tell me the average cost of a home, apartment rent, cost of living, etc in the area? Mike

Sorry for the dumb question, I missed the mileage in your post Metz. Thanks E for pointin it out. Metz, if your sprocket teeth don't look curved, you may just give your chain a good cleaning to free it up. It seems 8000 miles is too early for a new chain, but it's best to replace both sprockets if the chain is toast. Rod

Mike, I'm presently "wintering" in Casa Grande. Last week I broke a filling, so I went down to Alcodonis, Mexico (10 miles from Yuma, AZ) where I had a PAINLESS cap done to that tooth for $200 vs the $1250 a dentist here quoted! I highly recommend it. Ed
