[QUOTE="jeepmauler, post: 1242998, member: 16779"] Check and see what cassette is actually on the rear wheel. Shimano,in it's quest to make EVERYTHING lighter(great on road bikes/shitty for freeride bikes),made the cogs(riveted to the aluminum carrier) SO thin and full of speed holes that the cogs bend very easily and stay bent.......even if only slightly "tweaked" off center....it's enough to totally fubar up the shifting.. I would switch out all my HOMIES to LX 9spd cassettes AWAY from the XT cassettes to get rid of the Aluminum spider with the steel rings riveted to it.The LX cassettes(at least a couple years ago) were ALOT burlier and able to handle junk getting into them like ferns,little sticks,hikers body parts and not bend like the XT No matter how much you screw with the derailure,cable tension,lube the cable etc......if the COGS are deformed laterally....it'll ride and shift like ASS.
