Despite your cluster showing apparently little wear, the spaces between the
teeth may be noticeably wider than they used to be. I have noticed this
problem on well-used clusters only a few years old. Sometimes it seems as if
the cluster and chain wear together, so it pays to change the chain fairly
often (not just when it has gotten obviously stretched).

I've noticed a different kind of skipping (or sometimes just clicking) when
the derailleur and the cluster are not quite parallel. This is more noticeable
on the "narrow" 6 or 7 sprocket clusters.

For chains, most people I know choose Sedisport. It shifts nicely.
