Hi again (another question from me!)
My current bikes chain is slipping a lot when under force, its annoying and probably a little dangerous.
My current cassette is a "Shimano HG-50 12-25 tooth" (it has 8 Sprockets) with a Shimano chain.
Obviously I could buy exactly the same cassette again, but its always been my intention to upgrade the elements as I need them.
So im thinking of maybe buying one of these (see option 3)

but this is a 10 speed cassette and not an 8 speed like my current set up. Will this cause me problems with my gears?
As for the chain - I notice if I buy a 10 speed cassette Ill also need a 10 speed chain...and if I need a 10 speed chain and cassette I'm guessing Ill also need a 10 speed crank set?!
any help would be appreciated!
