There's a good video here that could help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPLiW-0zLa4

Ah, I did wonder if that might be the case. Bike shop it is!

That is what's caused the problem in the first place.

Come on, it's dead easy, even I managed to do it when I changed the derailleurs ( I know, ). As long as you have a service stand, you should be fine. That video is really good for it, you just need to watch it enough times!

I tried once before and bu ered it up and had to go shame faced to the LBS. Much less humiliating to say new cassette can I have my gears serviced please. I know my limits. Oh and I don't have a service stand either.

This. I went through exactly the same cassette switch and had to fiddle with the B screw. I'm a tech fuckwit but got it working relatively easily.

Right!

*rolls sleeves up*

Have you got the cassette on the correct side of the wheel? Easy mistake to make...

He's would need more than a cup of tea I suspect.......I'm not technically minded.

My neighbour is lending me a copy of Zen and the art of Bicycle maintenance to have a read of, in the meantime I am going to be £25 lighter but it will be done correctly.
