The worst shifting I have ever experienced was with a brand new SRAM 9 spd
cassette and chain. First I swapped the cassette for a good but used
Ultegra and got only a marginal improvement. Then I replaced the chain
with a wipperman conex and kazam, great shifting. Later I tried the new
chain

Hi
I'm also ready to vote for slightly stiff link on a new chain. Might

Glad you were able to finally track it down. It's interesting that
the KMC that was years old used outperformed the SRAM you had
purchased new. Perhaps a bad chain? or bad batch? Unless the cost is
silly expensive it may be interesting to try a new SRAM. Of course,
you could also tell
I always found SRAM chains to be quieter on my 7 speed setups, so I
continued to use them as I transitioned to 9 speed. This experience has
made me consider looking for some 7 speed mega range cassettes. Found some
HG50 cassettes that do 13-34, with the big bailout jump to the 34, which is
what I
