    Greetings,

    My bike has Shimano 2300 with a 8 speed 12-25 cassette. I would like to change the cassette to a SRAM PG850 11-28 cassette and want to know if this is compatible with Shimano 2300?

    If it is compatible will I need to increase the size of the chain?


    Thanks.

    They are compatible.

    The chain length may have to increase. There are a few different ways of determining chain length.

    On a similar note, I need to replace my shimano cassette and I'm thinking of getting a sram one. Do I need different tools to do so? I have access to shimano tools only.
    Thanks!
