I am currently looking at CRC for a cassette and xt is £31 where as sram pg-1070 are £42 so I was wondering if I could use an xt cassette with my current setup?
Which one will be best?
Can I use any 10 speed chain or do I have to use the one specific to each?
I have a brand new 10spd chain all be it not the best quality
Thanks!!

You can use any chain and any cassette with any derailleur/shifter pair (as long as they're all the same number of "speeds").
Only the derailleur and shifter have to be compatible - everything else is standard spacing across all manufacturers.0 -
Yep as long as it's 10 spd already.
What's up with the chain? Just change before it gets to wear that does damage.0 -
gear changing has just gone rubbish and wont stay in gear properly looking at the cassette and chain is worn plus I think its just starting to slip. Done the whole set up ect numerous times changed the derailleur pulleys since they died a few hundred miles too.Scott Spark 30 carbon custom build

Also cheaper which is always a bonus at £31 instead of £42 for the SRAM one XD
