    What speed shifters do you have? Assuming you're replacing a 9 speed cassette with a new 9 speed one everything should be ok.

    You may need a new chain though.

    Any cassette will work with any gear setup, as long as it is the same speed - 8spd/8spd - 9spd/9spd not 8spd/9spd.

    What speed are your shifters? If they're 9 spd get a 9 spd cassette, if they're 8 spd get a 8spd cassette and so on.

    And it is recommended you change the chain with the cassette, as they wear together, and could slip if not both replaced.

    SRAM PC850/851 is a good durable chain.

    Go for a PC951 chain - the 851 is 8 speed.

    Oops, thought 850 was 8spd, and 851 9spd. :oops: :lol:
