What a difference a new chain makes !

Well being a relative Roadie Newb, I managed to squeeze 3500km out of the bike chain because I didnt know any better . I bought the bike new in September 2007 and had no idea as to when to swap the chain.
Anyway, I put a dura-ace chain on the bike last week, pulled the rear cassette down and gave it a very good clean, my god does it run nice now. Its so quiet, the gear changes seem nicer however I'm waiting for my new Ultegra chainring and cassette to turn up this week and it should be even sweeter !!!
I also bought a spare chain so i think I'm going to pay a little more attention to the wear on the running gear and swap it before its totally stuffed
Ciao Pete
