Maple Leaf Test Rides

The continuing saga of test riding a Supercycle SC1800 (Canadian Tire product # 71-1556)

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

km 11520.8

Performed 60 minutes maintenance on June 4 at mark 11400.2

Replaced back tyre from sunbitten Conti Town & Country to a spare Panaracer Holy Moly (free - kicking around in the spares since 2001)
Replaced back brake shoes with MEC product #4011200 $2.75.

Replaced chain with KMC X8.93 #5006382 $14.50.

Replaced freewheel with Suntour Perfect (free - from spares of 2004). Indexes adequately with Shimano 6 speed shifter.

Previous chain (SRAM PC870) had elongated to the point where it chewed through a couple of freewheel sprockets. That chain was installed at mark 9479 on 08.12.16 or 1921km ago. The corrosion resistance stood up well to salted roads.
Here is a chart of chains that have been hooked up on this SC1800:
