in retrospect, the chainset and front tire are not part of the Desmo service and when looking what I paid for those to jobs and parts alone:
Lets say its one hour of work to do the chain and sprockets.
Thats 58 euro labor + 373 for the full chainset.
Than there is the 200 euro for the tire incl. labor.
Those two things alone are 631 euro.
That makes the Desmo service a lot cheaper, if you look at it that way!
I wonder, do many owners already have their tires and chainset changed by the time the Desmo service is due?
did some research and concluded, next time I'll get the sprockets and chain by myself and get them installed by a friend/mechanic (and watch closely so I could do it myself in the future)
cause the whole chainset is a bit at the high end.
Found that same DID chain for about 70 euro's cheaper.
Could get any info about the rear sprocket, but I found many online for 30 euro's cheaper too.
All that said, the Multi is what it is because of its chain driven characteristics, wich is a beast.
But I do get the saying:
