Hello everyone, new to the site. I had a big question about a bike I bought used a few days ago.
The bike was pretty beat up, but my biggest question is about the broken rear derailleur. I searched the net for the exact model (Shimano STX RD-MC32) and only have come up with used parts on ebay.
I am not too keen on used parts, since I don't really know how beat up they got, or how much stress was put on them in their lifetime.
My question is what can I replace this with? The bike is twenty-one speed, three on the front seven in the back. I think it's a long cage and 10 tooth on each cogwheel.
