  1. I'm buying a Shimano HG-50 8spd cassette for my Trek (same as what bike has on it now). I have a question concerning the chain, I'm pretty sure what I have now is a Shimano IG-90 chain. I'd like to get the Sram PC 68 chain to accompany the Shimano HG 50 cassette, but am unsure if they are compatible. Thanx in advance.

  2. If it says "for 7 and 8 speed Cassettes" it'll match. The minute
    differences in cog spacing only matters in indexing (shifting) where the
    small differences are multiplied by the number of cogs.

    Chains only have to worry about the cogs immediately adjacent.

    It will work.
