It was a KMC brand rather than the original shimano, but it was an 8 speed so should have been compatible. However, the chain slips a little when under tension and on the smallest rear cog. The chain length is OK in that the jockey wheel cage is vertical when it is supposed to be, So...is the cassette worn (in which case why doesn't it slip on the bigger cogs that I use more often) or have I goofed and bought an incompatible chain? Any advice welcome. </p>
