Bike is presently set up with Ultegra rder, Ultegra 9sp 12x25t cassette stamped "Hyperglide",
Shimano HG 73 chain.
It shifts great. But I need bigger cogs back there. I've used Sheldon's "Custom 9-speed `High &
Wide'" 11x28t cassette on another bike, which gives me the range I want. But it is not HG and the
toothies are not shaped the same as the HG cassettes toothies.
Generally speaking, would we expect to see a difference in shifting performance if we change to
non-HG cogs and keep this chain and rder?
MikeE, who knows this kind of question comes up over and over so all he needs is a quick
one-sentence answer from someone who has played with this kind of stuff a bazillion times. So mark
one of the following:
( ) Don't worry about it, the non-HG cassette will shift just fine
( ) Stick with HG, that's what the chain works best with
( ) Why doncha just try it for cryin' out loud?
