I got a few repairs to make this autumn. One of them being (I believe) a new chain/chaincase. Is this something that I should buy brand new or is it worth trying for a second hand one first. ie, do you guys think price difference is worth the risk of a used part(s).

Nothing wrong with a used chaincase however I would get a new chain,make sure the case has no chips out of it or cracks and your good to go!

Cool thanks for the replies. Still gotta find some time to pull it all apart but we are 90% sure its the chain that broke.
