Hi all...

Today i got to work and decided to have a fettle.

What did i notice? when i upgraded the chain cassette etc (months ago) I didnt put the chain on correctly, and this messed up the gearing...

Another reason to go SS i guess, i just feel stupid for not noticing and just thinking my rear hub was on the way out :P

I nearly bought a whole new groupset because of this heh. (Partly as it was an excuse to)

    Are you absolutely sure? You might need to buy a new groupset just to make sure...

    I don't understand this, how can you put the chain on incorrectly (unless it is directional or one sided like my YBN chain), how would incorrectly fitting a normal chain ruin the cassette?

    Wouldn't you know straight away if it was wrong?
