I had some issues with the crankset needed for the full coverage chaincase not holding up to the way I ride my commuter bike in the city so I'm going to try this minimalistic Simplex Chainguard REF C2 A for a while. I might try something with a bit more coverage if I can find it or even go for one of those classic Porteur chain cases if I can find them.

Since I needed to take out the rear wheel to change to a larger sprocket I relubed some of the bearings in the rear hub.





How does the crank set feel? I bought a 6603 Ultegra triple I'm thinking about trying on my trek 720. It was cheap and silver so I thought I'd try it. It's not here yet though
