Hi... I bought 2 second hand wheels for my Gary Fisher bike..
The rear wheel came with a new 8 speed cassette marked... Shimano Hypergluide HG.
After reading the spec. list of the bike it lists the chain as Shimano CN-IG51, 1/2 x 3/32" ..and the front gear chain as SR XCC-150 42/34/24 crank..
The original cassette was SRAM PG830 11-32 8spd
My question ...is the new cassette OK with the original chain and crank.
Just got me thinking when I seen HG on the cassette and IG for the chain..
Been riding with this set up a few days now and it seems OK.
Not sure if all cassettes, cranks and chains are compatible..so hope its not a stupid question...
Thanks..
