Looking to change my stock Shimano HG-40 8 speed 11-32 cassette to a new 8 speed 11-34, basically I need all the help I can getting up some hills.
I'm happy to stick with 8 speed as I don't really see the point in 9 speed if the upper and lower ratios are the same, it's just more gears to change through to get to the limits
Anyway the only one I can find is the Shimano HG-40 11-34 version, I've found this at an incredible price of £13 delivered.
Before I order I just wanted to check if there are any other models I should check out and will it be a straight swap or will I need to do anything else?
btw I'm running Sram X5 derailer, X5 shifters and Sram chain.
Thanks

think thats the only 8 sp cassette shimano do at 34 T
excellent price , good product , get it.
and should be straight swop,0 -
and i'd probably fit new chain as well.
best time to swop is when replacing drivetrain parts ,
and you dont want to wreck new cassette with tatty old chain .0 -
