When is Worn Too Worn

fillup · 2014-11-01 19:35:52

Howdee I've just replaced the BB and chain on my singlespeed commuter and I'm wondering if the front crank and rear fly-wheel need changing too. My guess is that after 5yrs of slogging in and out to work that they prob do need to replaced but I'd like some second opinions on it. Thanks Fillup

Wear on single speeds should be minimal provided the crank and freewheel are in a straight line to each other. Mine look near new after years of use.
