Hi Carbon The chain in the link you posted comes up as PC850 not PG850 does this matter? I've just ordered and a little worried its not the right one for the 8 speed PG850 cassette Hi, No you're quite right the chain is prefixed PC rather than PG. That's the correct one. I've updated the post above to the correct code. Hope it works as well for you as it's doing for me! Cheers.

Just to add. Was a big copy cat to carbon's ideas. I am a novice in the cycling world. running was my thing. swapped due to injury. fitted the cassette wheels and tyres. the bike looks great and feels great too. hanks to all, especially carbon for the advice. great website

I have thought about having a new set of wheels on my T3 at it's free service. I inquired and Decathlon fit wheels for free if they are bought from them. If you buy your own they charge Β£8.
i am sure Arny5Triban can confirm this.

I've just purchased aSRAM PG850 8 speed cassette from the Halfords website. As part of a bundle including the socket thingy it comes to about 26 squid. Not a bad price really. Ill be picking it up tomorrow pm. I've got a few tools in the shed so I shouldn't need a chain whip!!!

Just fitted my SRAM PG850 cassette. Noticeable weight difference. I also decided to check the hub grease. There was some there but I decided to clean out and regrease. I've now tightened the hubs but don't know if I've overtightened them. How would I know. Help required!!!
