i want to upgrade my rear stock shimano alivio mech and keep the shimano 8 speed shifters and sproket cassette budget is around £30.

anything that stands out for that sort of money?

thanks

    any shimano mech will work. but you wont really notice any difference.

    im finding this alivio mech a bit tempremental esp when its dirty the chain also sticks sometimes when back pedaling and its a bit slow at shifting up gears when pedaling hard or up hill ive tried fine tuning it and cant get it any better.

    sounds like the cable need a clean or a change.
