Wanted: 11 tooth gear for 7 speed cassette

[MontyVeda]

I've trawled through the interweb and strolled 'round several local bike shops, and it appears the only way i can buy one of these...



...is to buy an entire cassette.

so I'm hoping somebody on here has replaced a cassette and has a relatively unworn 11 tooth gear/cog thingy for a splined cassette that they'll never need. It's to replace a 12 tooth cog, so I'm specifically looking for 11 teeth. It'll be going on a 7 speed cassette, but whether than means it needs to come from a 7 speed i'm not sure (spacers are available).

I'm willing to pay* a few quid plus postage.

*paypal, bank transfer.

7 & 8 speed cassettes only ever went as low as 12. If its a newer hub then you could use a 9 speed bottom sprocket.

This is 8 speed, but I think it should work

And there are a few others that come up if you search eBay for "cassette 11t" and order by price+p&p lowest first

Aren't 7 and 8 speed the same size width of the cog?

On my 7 speed bike, I'm sure I am using an 8 speed cassette, having first removed the smallest 11 tooth from the HG31.

It is extremely unlikely I threw it out but will it fit?

even the one that the pictured 11 tooth came off?

no idea, but I'm willing buy it and try it to find out if you can find it

*slight exaggeration.

That'd be very kind of you. I've ordered one from Ebay so no worries if you can't find it. Might try to get my hands on a few since that appears to be the first cog to wear out and I like my wide 12-32 cassette, so when i replace that I'll still be looking to swap the little 12tooth cog for an 11tooth one

 

[albion]

Found it at 2nd attempt, in the very first place I looked.

I just need your address MV.

I'm sorry, this just isn't true.

I agree about your implied thoughts on the 11T cog. If cycling hadn't gone upmarket znd somewhat mad you would be able to buy small bags of these from the manufacturers/suppliers. FFS, it is a separate bit even when supplied with a brand new boxed cassette.
