Rear cassette

[mr messy]

If cassette worn it would be more big ring slippage. Is it definitely slipping as opposed to skipping between gears at back?
Is there any play in bottom bracket?

It doesn't feel like it's skipping....when you pedal it's 'lumpy' and varies between catching and not catching (so slipping). Does that make ANY sense?

I'm thinking this is beyond my capabilities right now and am going to call the LBS (where I bought it).
I don't want to be without my MTB as I use it most of the time, but it needs sorting properly and I do have the hybrid....I just can't tear about on that they way I do on the MTB

Please don't be offended, but I don't suppose you could have threaded your new chain through the derailleur incorrectly? Just a thought.

Sounds like slack chain since happening on smaller rings. Re check length and as @Mo1959 says routing at rear mech,also if its 'spring' taking up the slack

No I did check to make sure it was all the right way around...and got Mr SL to double check it.

Picked up the bike today. New rear cassette and running like a dream!
