Rear Axle? Bearings? Question...
I just got my bike back from the dealership and they said that I need a new rear axle, bearings, chain and sprockets, sprocket "bumper", and brakes?
Where would be a good place to get these things?
Would it be fairly simple to do myself if I had a rearstand, a manual, and some tools if i've never done it before? How hard is it?
Thanks for your help, guys!

RE: Rear Axle? Bearings? Question...
It's fairly easy, but some of it should be trusted to a skilled mechanic.. Wheel bearings need tools to install and remove them..
But I'm questioning that all those things could all be bad at the same time.. Did you ask what was wrong with them? I've never seen an axle go bad personally, or the cush drive rubbers.. Even if they break, they are still ok to use... even if the axles are rusted in there, you can usually get them on a wire wheel and clean them up good as new.. I'd be wondering why they want to replace everything back there except the wheel.
