cassette

In the process of choosing my first road bike - it will be more for exercise rather than racing and live in Cambridgeshire which is probably the flattest part of the country!!! Ok, we do have hills but not too many! can go for a 50x34 & 11x28/32/34 or a 52x36 & 11x28 In the real world is there...

Done just under 4K on the Cube MTB, this is the 3rd chain, it was making all sorts of noises this morning, kept jumping/slipping thought it might need adjusting & figured I'd do it when I got home. Unfortunately I didn't get that far, 4 miles from home the chain snapped, got split links with me...

The first thoughts on seeing this is its something for @SkipdiverJohn to buy ;) https://singletrackworld.com/2020/06/first-ride-review-2021-sram-gx-eagle-2-more-teeth-and-520-range/?fbclid=IwAR0-uC7Miy4eqrtOXgjy73Omlth6PMhSCDLrqOyeVwQJz8o17G_uw3gi72o

I have a bike with a 11-32 Cassette, and Shimano Tourney groupset. When replacing the cassette, do I need to keep to the same size (11-32), same make (Shimano) or are they interchangeable (doesnt changing the ratio - affect chain length). Current Cassette is marked CS-HG30-8I. What do I need to...

Hi, I have just took delivery of my new bike but I am planning on upgrading the wheels soon. Also at the same time I am thinking of swapping the cassette. At the moment I have 50/34 and an 11-34 rear, I thought this might have been a bit easy on the gearing, and although the 1-1 gear is quite...

I have just put a different rear wheel in my bike and unfortunately the 11 cog was catching the inside of the chain stay slightly. It has cut through the lacquer and marked the carbon. There is a little bit of a ridge where it has rubbed. I assume the carbon will be fairly thick at this point...

Looking for some advice please. I have a 8 speed 11-28. I would like to swap it for a 34-11 to help me with steep hills,is this a straight forward swap or does work need doing to the derallear or chain length etc

Hi folks, I posted a week or so ago and got some great help as I'm stripping down and refreshing my old Apollo mountain bike mainly to learn mechanical skills and have an off roader. My Giant Hybrid bike is ordered and shoukd be with me soon! I just have a few questions from today's work:-...

I've got a 6-7 year old MTB ex Halfords Voodoo with light to medium use and well maintained, used on flat trails. I'm now losing the chain on every ride. I don't know if its down to a worn cassette or chain or both. I've cleaned it up and lubed it with silicone lube, and adjusted the derailleur...

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...

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...
