I purposely listed a few different chain replacement theories friends use because I don’t have one I adhere to. I mean regularly rotating through a couple chains sounds good in theory but what do you do if the cassette dies in no time? Always interesting to hear people’s theories.
I have pressed a pitted main pivot bearing out and back in in a pinch when I didn’t have a replacement on hand and the result was another month or so of use. The Onion bearings always feel so nasty I just replace them (at a significantly higher cost compared to changing a DU).
