Folks, just bought a used spare wheelset, and am shopping for an 8 speed
cassette for it. I've tinkered with most of the stuff on my bikes, but have
never installed a cassette.
I figure I need a chain whip to tighten it once I fit it onto the splines,
correct? Do I also need a locking ring of some kind to ensure it stays
tight, and if so will it come with the cassette? Seems a waste to have to
cart the wheels down to my LBS if the install process is simple.
From shat I can see, SRAM 8 sp cassettes have the same spacing as Shimano.
Any user preferences on either make? Usage will be mainly XC MTB - any fav
models among current offerings out there?
Thanks
