I have just put a new chain on my cube ltd hardtail,and consequently had to replace the cassette.I am now getting a grinding feeling coming from the crank area.Is this because I have not replaced the chain ring as well?

    chain routed correctly?

    what is the full drive train set up?

  • dont know about that,didnt actually fit it myself,but the drivetrain is deore hg-50 cassette,shimano octolink crank+chainring and shimano hg73 chain.seems to be happening in the main gears i use where the old cassette was supposedly worn out(the lower few cogs).
