I replaced my cassette and chain a couple of months ago as the chain had worn to 0.75 (or whatever it is on the chaintool checker.)
The indexing was never quite right, and it would skip occasionally despite my keep adjusting it.
I finally got it in the workstand yesterday for a thorough clean, new cable and to sort the adjusting out perfectly, which is when I discovered the cassette is warped.
When you spin it, some of the chainrings oscillate, as if it were a buckled wheel, hence my shifing problems.
So, I've ordered a new cassette, but I'm wondering if running a ropey cassette will have damaged the new chain. Should I replace that too?
If it matters, groupset is Tiagra/Sora (8sp) chain was SRAM 8sp and the cassette was also an 8sp SRAM (PG820 IIRC?)
The new cassette will be a SRAM PG850.
Any advice appreciated
