  1. I just bought a new XT HG cassette and a new SRAM PC58 cheapo chain for my trainer bike which is connected permanently to a mag trainer.

    The chain slips round the cassette as if it were worn. Every time i put pressure on the pedals it clanks and slips. I have never used SRAM stuff before, are they all this [censored]? It said in the box that it is Shimano compatible.

    There is an XT hub, XT derallieur and LX chainset driving the lot.

    whats the problem here?

    perhaps i should just buy a shimano HG chain and put it down to experience.

    (this should be in the tech corner, i just noticed)

    Is your cassette 8 speed or 9 speed? You have to be sure the chain is for your specific cassette. Only 9 speed chains work on 9 speed cassettes, etc.

    8 speed cog and 8 speed chain. How can they say that it is Shimano compatible when some Shimano kit isnt even compatible with other Shimano kit....HG and IG for example.
