Chain And Sprocket Question

[luke2405]

Hi,

I have noticed how worn my sprockets are, as I am getting new cranks I decided to get a new set.

Should I change the chain at the same time ?

Is there any whay of telling how worn a chain is as it has not been on the bike for as long as the sprockets.

Dont really want to change it if mines ok

Thank you Luke

If you are changing both sprockets I would change the chain as well, as your new sprockets will last longer with a new chain.

Also tarty recommend that you change your chain every 3 months regardless.
