Hi,
recently had an FSA Energy Compact crankset installed on my bike. I put a new Ultegra 10sp chain on, and a 12-23 Ultegra cassette. Worked flawlessly! Beautiful!
I then installed a 12-26 SRAM OG cassette, for a pending hill adventure of a mere 200km. It is noisy, shifts bad, and clicks in 5th onwards. Am I missing something here or is it not as compatible as it is meant to be? The cogs are around the correct way, it's as fine tuned as it has EVER been. It works sweet the moment I put a wheel with a Shimano cassette on. :S
The specs say that a SRAM chain is recommended, but should it make that much of a difference?
Help please, 6 days before the race and I'd like to sort something if I can :S
Cheers,
Brendon
