Hi everybody,
I'm slowly changing all the standard chainset on my Boardman Hybrid from Sram to Shimano.... Until today it was easy.
I've done the chainset, now using a 105, 5700 double crank and BB.
Done the front and rear hubs to XT (9 speed of course).
Put a shiny new chain on, HG98.
Today I bought the XT M770 11-34 cassette, fitted it no probs went for a ride and it sounds and feels awful!! It's like some sort of grinding sound but I can also feel it through the pedals.
The chain should work as it's the skinny sort, the rear deralliur (speelcheck needed) is a nine speed, the hub is nine speed and the cassette is nine speed.
What am I missing? Is it because the old Sram cassette was 11-32 and the new is 11-34? Its only an extra tooth on a few of the cogs surely, theres still 9 of them!?
I've tried H + L screws and even the B screw, adjusting all over the place, still no joy. It's a shame because the XT Cassette feels really light and nice.
Anybody else had this issue??
