Good; someone was paying attention in English lessons!their purpose but they’re there
Thanks everyone.If the chain skips you've got a broken tooth on the cassette. I know one of my bikes currently has one.
My guess is it's OK and is to aid shifting, some of my cassettes have this. The first time I noticed I wondered if it was damage. You're not alone on that one.
Do you have a friendly LBS that will offer advice without pressuring for a potentially un-necessary purchase?
Hahaha new bike, that's funny.Time for a new bike.
Actually the cassette isn't that old. The teeth aren't pointy. I did buy another cassette. Maybe a few gears could be swapped.Some of the teeth look a bit pointed and worn, others sloped or rounded off - but it's hard to see properly in the photo. Do you have another one that you can sit it next to and compare? Do you have a friendly LBS that will offer advice without pressuring for a potentially un-necessary purchase?
If you check the chain, how worn is it?
Does that exist, most shops will just advise a replacement
