Hi
I'm currently running a Shimano XT drivetrain-ish
- M760 crankset...like new
- M772 rear mech new 2 weeks ago
- M770 front mech n ew 3 months ago
- Chain sram PC 9.71 new 3 months ago
- Rear cassette Shimano HG-50 9 speed maybe a year old but looks fine...
So heres my issue. Although its shifting perfectly and both mechs are are working as they should...it just feels a bit "gritty"? Sort of like the chain has sand in it. I've cleaned both the chain and cassette but just feels ropey. Is the fact that its a sram chain the problem...or the wrong type of sram chain for this setup?...
One other consideration is that I lube the chain with just plain ol GT85 should I be using a specific chain lube? Everything else is like new...
So before I go and buy another cassette and chain what are peoples thoughts?
Cheers in advance
