Just need to check I’ve not gone mad. Got a new PG980 11-32 from CRC and there is no spacer for between largest three cogs and the middle 4. There should be one right?

Internet not being very helpful.

Are the sprockets the right distance apart…?

No, which why I know I’m not mad but wanted some morale support. I can’t find an exploded diagram on internet.

Just steal a loose spacer from an old 9spd cassette. Any make should do.

I Have an old SRAM one but no spacer 🙁

I’m pretty sure SRAM cassettes don’t have spacers or at least the ones I have fitted didn’t. Have you got the cogs facing the right way round?

Yes! They are the right way round. Its the big 3 between middle 4. Has to be a spacer issue. Some one must have a PG 980?

It looks like you are missing a spacer….
