hi all, i have a cannondale gemini 1000 - 2002 model and
i need to change the cassette, because, according to a
bike store, its knackered. now, seeing as i know bugger
all about cassettes, could anyone reccomend a decent
one? i have single speed with a chaindog tensioner, and
the cassette seems to have gone to hell since it was
fitted. any reccomendations or tips would be greatly
appreciated. thanx.

Are they soooo expensive that it would be worth trying to
do it yourself (knowing "bugger all" about it by your own
admission) and buggering it up

1.) Don't top-post. It makes your posts hard to read and
people less likely to help you.

2.) loomer has a good point. Since you know "bugger all
about cassettes," you should go somewhere where they know
slightly more than "bugger all." The local shop is the
best place for that.

3.) It is not a good idea to surf eBay without the first
clue. You will get screwed if you do that.

4.) You have a single speed with a cassette? How in the
hell is that possible? A cassette usually implies more
than one gear.

You *did* say that "any recommendations...would be greatly
appreciated." OK, go back to the bike store and buy a
cassette from them. You'll probably need a chain too, if the
cassette is "knackered" in such a way as to be described as
"worn." The shop will install things correctly, and you'll
help support the shop for the next time you need some help
with your expensive MTB.

Skip eBay for now. Your odds of finding joy there seem very
limited from this observer's POV.
