@Five-Hats @kjlem Appreciate it and generally agree, just unsure about that ring around the BB shell, how long I can realistically leave it before it comes an issue. But maybe forever if well looked after...
@Fibreglass thanks! I am still glad to have that 46t cog tbh - originally had decided 42t but I will come to appreciate those extra teeth until my fitness improves significantly beyond current levels - my max aerobic intervals today tell me I have a ways to go. Thanks for the PTFE tip - will give it a go next time. Wrt the YBN chain, I bought it on Amazon actually, £33: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T4HQJQ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... Not a chain connoisseur by any means but seems to be doing a fine job so far, after stripping factory lube and waxing?
