I did not replace the rubber dampers, they appeared fine? Probably not a bad idea to give it a new set of those too.
22,000 miles on the clock. Chain was nearing the end of its life, planning some long trips this summer and since I have it apart and I had all new parts I got cheap from another member here I figured why not. Sprockets looked good too, so I'll keep the old ones as spares.
I bought the bike with 19,000 miles, not sure how well the previous owner maintained the chain. From what I've read on here others have gotten longer out of their chain and I think I'll get the same since I religiously keep it tightened and clean/lubed. At least every 500 miles.
Update: Just ordered a set of dampers lol
