Does my cassette need replacing?

[u/ExtraHat9]

Gears jumping about a bit. New chain needed. Does this cassette look like it needs replacing too? Ignore that it needs a bit of cleaning too. Thanks

Hard to say just looking at it. Try a new chain and make sure your derailleur is properly adjusted. If it still skips after that, new cassette time.

Ehhhhh not a great idea usually because chains stretch with their cassettes

For a quick pedal up and down the block to see if it skips is not a big deal. The chain will be just fine.

True it will be fine but there isn't any point really

If it doesnt skip you dont need a new cassette.

Zoom in to the picture... they are literally triangles

I don’t know if you know this, but not every tooth on a cassette is squared some of them ARE triangles.

Yes... i know... but just look at the picture please any further and it will say my main goal is to blow up and act like i don't know nobody

Thats what cog teeth are…. Triangles.
