Shimano + Sram cassette compatibility

kipple · 2011-03-29 22:31:51

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!
