Hi folks,
Quick question, on my xt cassette the sprocket spacer between the 3-4 ( from the bottom up) seems too small. The space between the sprockets is smaller than the others...unsurprisingly the chain jumps out of that gear.
So is it me? Have a missed something? Anybody else's like that? What do I do to resolve...I didn't really want to buy a whole new cassette as this one has plenty of life in it yet!
Many cheers

    Presumably if it's not new it worked before you fiddled with it?

    And I'm going to say yes, but I had hung my bike up for a good year or so...guilty of the fiddle...I only have two spacers one on the mavic hub..and one in the cassette...reading the spec I think it said it should be a 2.56 mm (I think)...I will take it off a measure it tomorrow..I also swapped the spacers around but the sprockets were still unevenly spaced...I was interested if anybody else had a similar experience...

    Thanks folks, I can confirm its def the wrong spacer also its measured in under weight..1.85mm not 2.56mm... Not sure how I have managed to get the wrong spacer in there but, it is what it is...
    Now to track one down..
    Once again many thanks :)
