Got my new Felt F4 SL at the weekend and having been working late all week, I only just got toy put on my Mavic Kyserim wheels this evening. Thing is should I have changed the cassette aswell. Bike came with Askiun Race wheels and a 12-25 cassette. The existing cassette has about 1500k on it. Should I change it or leave it. Both are the same size and I cleaned up the older one pretty well earlier. Any pointers would be great.

  • I'm taking an educated guess here and say use the new cassette with the new chain/drivetrain as the older one may cause the new chain to wear slightly faster due to it being slightly worn already. Save the old one as a replacement when the new one wears out. Probably not much of an issue either way but if it were mine I'd use the new cassette first.
