We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Ugh. Finally effectively done. 11 fucking hours. But I did find that my MIL owes me $750. She hasn't paid me for the phone since last Jan and still had to pay me back for all of the expenses of getting her back in May.
Most likely the cassette is worn, but check the cable housing for drag by pulling off the ferrules. If the wires are extending past the plastic part, trim it.
Worn cassettes work well with worn chains. I used to replace my chains when they hit the 75% wear mark and save them. Once a new chain didn't work so well I cycled through my worn chains and they would work great for quite a while. Figured I got a lot of extra use from both my chains and cassettes.

Wifey told me to ask her for it. It's not like she doesn't have the money; she just got distracted with winding down the law firm she worked at and moving.

That's some next level "penny pinching" (for lack of better term).
Here's one for ya; I remove my chain and lay it out flat on a bench to lube, wipe excess then reinstall, back pedal, then re-wipe. My drivetrain remains clean and chains last longer. Most would look at it and think the chain was dry. But if you run your finger lightly under the chain you should have just a small stain, indicating the correct amount. No soggy gears here.
