1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share Hi all would anyone know if I can change out my SRAM Red Cassette to something different, recently my chain has been popping off the big chain ring, so I am guessing it's due to chain wear, I have put plenty on this groupset so i'm assuming it's time to change, does it have to be the same cassette? obviously if I change cassette chain will have to change as well. Just thinking of another option, weight is not much an issue anymore. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoke101 Posted May 30, 2016 Share You can use any 10spd cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share sounds good to me, always better being prepared going to the LBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted May 30, 2016 Share Any Shimano or SRAM 10 speed cassette will work. I have a SRAM red drive train, but one of my wheelsets uses a SRAM red cassette and the other set uses a Shimano Ultegra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share That's awesome to know, will be a lot cheaper as well. may change to a 11/26 now that the years are creeping up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted May 30, 2016 Share If it is popping off the big ring it is more likely that the ring needs changing. This happens especially with a compact 50t. If you put on a new chain and it slips on your most worn cogs on the cassette then the cassette needs replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share I have a 53, if it is the chain ring I'll change it, think I may go the oval route see if it actually works, or a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people swear by it - I have tried it and felt no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share Thanks for the replies, bike is in waiting the outcome, if I change will probably change to Ultegra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted May 30, 2016 Share Oval can also have its problems. The gap between the FD and ring changes as the ring rotates so you can get chain drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 30, 2016 Share Oval can also have its problems. The gap between the FD and ring changes as the ring rotates so you can get chain drops. This is true and makes a lot of sense. if it's not worn I won't be replacing, waiting patiently for that dreaded call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted May 31, 2016 Share bike back and looks good, replaced Chain and Cassette with Ultegra, also replaced small front chain ring, they say my big blade also worn, this I will source myself and change, I do not see how the small blade can be worn when I am hardly ever in it, hence the reason I never replaced the big. so looking at changing the big blade 53 any recommendations?
