cassette

Hi is it possible to use an 11 speed derailleur with a 9 speed cassette?

Today I checked bike chain stretch is at 0.75. So should I replace the chain now? To avoid cassette damage or wait for 1.00. I don't want to replace the cassette at the same time as this will be quite expensive for me. I've only done around 900 miles on this chain, meaning that I would have to...

Hi all, I have a bike that's done roughly 4000km in 2 years. I’m about to change out the chainrings and cassette which seem to have plenty of life left in them, I'm just switching out for some lower gears. Having checked my chain with a chain checker tool it’s not worn enough to require...

Does anyone know the exact tools required to remove a SRAM PG 850 11-32 Cassette? I'm in the UK and a link to these tools would be good. Cheers!

Could I use a 30t cassette with Shimano 105 5700 short cage derailleur?

Hi All, Off to the Alps again the the summer and the bike I`m going to hire has a choice of two rear cassettes - an 11-32 or an 11-34. The front cassette is 34-50. Is there ant real advantage between the two, I assume the 11-34 will be slightly easier to pedal uphill (and I`ll need all the...

In the light of constant misrepresentation of the effects of a worn cassette on a new chain, I thought I'd explain why a new chain cannot be damaged by a worn cassette. We've seen this stated here as gospel often, and again, this week. Firstly, we need to understand why a chain wears and what...

I've just come across this wheeze for removing a fixie cog without using a chainwhip. Obviously the BB would need protecting unless you didn't care about the paint. View: https://youtu.be/5qIVEpyelP0

Does anyone know what size cassette i can put on? Its a 28 at the moment ideally id like a 32

Changed my cassette today from a 9 speed to 11-46t ms8 sunrace. After installation and tightening down the lock ring well, there is still slight movement in the cassette. Is that normal? The wheel bearings seem fine. I’m not sure what I can have done wrong. Any help appreciated.

I have a Specialized Roubaix with Tiagra groupset. The current cassette is an 10 speed 11-36. I would like to change it for a 11- 42, using a wolftooth. I am trying to lower the gears to make it easier to get up mountains. would changing the chainring have the same effect. It is a 50 - 34 at...

Hi all, I am using a Carrera TDF to upgrade/learn about all things bike. A bit like many years ago when I would take my MK1 Escort apart sometimes to repair sometimes for fun and learning. Today I discovered the difference between freewheel and cassette. My question is I have a 7 speed...

Hi all, Some advice required please. I am thinking of buying a wheelset which has a 10 speed cassette fitted (Shimano105). I would like to use the wheels on my 11 speed bike (Shimano Ultegra). So the question is can i fit my 11 speed cassette to the new wheelset and will that run okay with my...

I need to change the cassette on my 2016 giant defy 3 it has the original sram 950 11x32 what could I get to either upgrade or just change because i can’t seem to find the 950 anywhere

I did about 700 miles on a chain and found it needed replacing. The guy at Halfords told me that the cassette would need replacing on the 3rd chain change. So does this mean the cassette would need changing every 2100 miles? I'm also curious as to why my chain is wearing out at 700 miles on my...

Hi I'm looking to replace my cassette and was just wondering if I would be able to replace my current cassette, which is a SRAM PG850 11-32 Cassette for a Shimano HG51 8 Speed Cassette 11.32 teeth? If I am able to just swap them out without any problems is the Shimano the better one out of the...

Shimano cassette Deore XT CS-M770 HG Hyperglide 9 speed 11-34T Brand new still boxed. £24 includes postage. .

in the process of building a recumbent trike for touring - initially was going for a rohloff speed hub but then chatting with a friend last night he's saying that i'd be better off with sram/shimano 11/12 speed rear and have a greater range of gears - i know the rohloffs are reliable and low...

Hi all Today I noticed that my cassette was making a weird noise when I spin it. The noise is not noticeable when riding the bike I don't think and it is not causing loss of speed. It sounds like sand or maybe grit somewhere but I am just guessing. I cleaned my whole bike today and the...

I have a Cube Peloton with a granny gear of 30/32 which is the best of my three bikes but, not being a born climber, is it worth changing the cassette to a 34 teeth ? Would it really make a lot of difference when going up steep hills? I would appreciate your valued opinion on that.

Hi all, During my commute this morning my chain snapped. I took the bike to the shop as I had no tools or knowledge on how to replace it (specially in the middle of the street and having a meeting in the morning). The guy in the bike shop told me that, as I through away the snapped chain he...

This is off my Dahon Vybe C7A folder. The chain was at the 1/16 wear limit so I changed it. I did notice the old chain skipped a bit in top gear under heavy power. However the new chain does it a lot more. So I took a closer look at the cassette (actually a free wheel) and top gear looks to be a...

Sorry, now sold. Literally zero miles, just swapped it out from my new bike having not even ridden it. No spacer though. New price is about £30, so as it's unboxed how does £20 sound, or £25 including postage?

Hello all, I have Shimano 105 and I would like to buy this rather large casette. Can anybody tell me if there would be any issues in fitting it to my Giant Defy 1 Disc road bike, with Shimano 105? Happy to elaborate if needs be! Thanks :)

Wanted to convert an old MTB from freewheel 7-speed.

I currently have a sram red set up with 50/34 chain set and 11-28 cassette (10 speed). I want to run a bigger cassette - 34t (don’t judge, I have my reasons!). Any advice on which rear derailleur would be compatible? Most road/gravel derailleurs I’m seeing that take 34t are 11 speed. I’m not...

If anyone has one hanging about I would be interested. My nieces husband has taken up riding a bike and was looking for some wheels for his bike. I had a pair of Mavic wheels with a Mirage 8 hub. The wheelsand hud are in good condition. All he needs is an 8 speed Campagnolo cassette to complete...
