On my Ice trice QNT, over the last couple of days I've noticed a rattle which turns out to be the cassette. After removing the wheel, I noticed that all gears 1-6 have play in them both sideways and clock/anti clockwise. For some reason, the lockring is not the standard Shimano one it has only 4 'teeth holes', so my removal tool doesn't work----and I'm guessing the cassette is shot and will need replacing anyway.
2 questions.
1/ Where can I get the right tool? Can find it on t'internet.
2/ The cassette currently fitted is the Ice Custom Capreo 9-32 cassette 9 speed. I need the high 9 tooth, but very rarely drop below 3rd gear, and never drop of the large front chainring, so I really don't need or want the low down gearing. Could I just swap for a 9-26 such as this? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-capreo-cs-f700-9-speed-cassette-9-26-prod13432/
It's half the price, and I can't see any downsides, unless you know better.
