The beauty is that the original shifting ramps on the cogs are lined up since they used to be adjacent on the original cassette, so the shifting is absolutely flawless.
3/32 chain is what a Shimano cog needs...the chain rings on a Twenty is also 3/32 (if Raleigh versions are the same as the Phillip's model).
