cassette & chain compatible?
I'm getting a Shimano SLX Cassette, 9 Speed 11-32, (HG61) and wondering if a Shimano Ultegra/XT 9 Speed Chain, CN HG93 will work with it? It's what I have on the bike now, so I thought I should get the same one as a replacement.
What do the numbers next to the HG stand for? Some shimano HG chains are 73 while others are 93?
Any info would be appreciated!

On the other hand, an HG91 chain is a 6/7/8 speed chain.

There was also an IG, (InterGlide), such as I have on my 8s mtn bike. I don't know if there was ever a 9s version.
In general, if both parts have "HG" in the number, and are the same speed, they will work.
