cassette

Bought a cheap cassette tool from china (not the first) any way, lasted great but got lost so about 6 months ago bought another and hence the reason for this post, avoid them the splines on the latest ones are far to thin and likely to damage your cassette lock ring. Have tried to show the...

So my second hand Winter bike project seems to have taken a slightly complex turn. Picked up the bike last week, did my checks and test ride all seemed OK although it seems i did miss a couple of small details on the bikes components..... The bike was sold with Campy SR, even if the crank had...

Was told that the cassette has covered about 400 miles, but want to know if any of you experts can tell me if it is worn. The reason is the chain it came with was worn. Thanks

Folks, my road bike has an Ultegra group set with an 11 speed 11 x 30 cassette. I would like to upgrade to an 11 x 32 or perhaps an 11 x 34 cassette. Would the existing derailleur be suitable for this upgrade ? Thanks in advance....

Hi all, Hopefully someone can help i have a road bike with 53/39 & 13/29 campag Veloce cassette, the RD is SS. I am looking at changing the cassette to help my knees any ideas as to what i can put on to help. Thanks in advance.

I have a Claud Butler Ravana ATX MTB purchased c2002. Standard piece of kit with 27" wheels 21 gears (3*7) and rim V-Brakes. Hubs are Quando and run fine with occasional regrease and adjustment. My problem now is with the cassette/freehub. On Saturday, while on a ride on muddy towpaths the...

After a decent year of going from mot using my bike to clearing 900 mile since lockdown, I'm wondering if I need to replace the chain and/or cassette. I've had the bike up on the workstand and indexed using th barrell adjusters but wasn't completely satisfied it was perfect, but on the road...

Hey, It's come to the point where my cassette and chainring has gone through about 5 chains so looking to replace the lot. I only ever use ~5 smallest sprockets and notice since Shimano cassettes come with the biggest sprockets as one unit and the smaller ones individually, is it possible to...

Brand new, never been unpacked. Came from one of the major UK suppliers, can't remember which, like this. An OEM item I assume as there was never a box. £15 posted or if you are in London or thereabouts I will give myself a bike ride and deliver it for £13. Payment by paypal F&F.

I'm using one road bike for both indoor training and outdoors. I fitted an identical cassette to the turbo trainer. It's an 11-34 Ultegra so it has a spacer. I've had to reindex the gears though when swapping from trainer to wheel and vice versa. Do I have to just get used to it and try to...

Hi guys, I just wanted to pick your brains if I may. I have just had a new chain and cassette fitted on my hybrid (for the first time on a 6 year old bike), the chain was really worn and stretched, at a local independent bike shop. I must say first of all the bike and gears feel great, like a...

Hope someone can give me a clue where I could get a decent Alloy 700C rear wheel with cassette freewheel to take 7 speed. O.L.D. 125mm. I am really struggling to find one for my Raleigh? Is the answer to get the rear dropouts pushed out? Thanks in anticipation. Ken.

I'm trying to help my brother fix his bike, it's Scott Hardtail and has a Deore XT rear mech. The bike was new in Feb but has been heavily used and abused. Much to my annoyance it doesn't get cleaned that regularly. He said his gears weren't working properly so I checked the 10 speed chain and...

this may be a stupid question i have a specialized crosstrail hybrid, i want to replace the components as they have seen there life in a unloved bike i bought ...compatibility seams a complicated thing im going to replace my rear cassette , but believe my Hub determines what i can fit .. I...

After fitting a new chain (first ever chain change) as it approach (but hadn't yet reached 0.75) I was very suprised to find the new chan slipping all over the place on the old cassette. Alas I need a new one. The cassette on the bike (factory) is Microshift CS-H092 9V 11/32 cassette...

I'm looking to replace my cassette, but I'm struggling to know which on to get for my bike. I have a Sram PG 850 8 speed cassette, but I now see there are a choice of five of these cassettes on amazon and they all look the same apart from a number. These are the numbers 11-28t, 11-30t, 11-32t...

Worn and scuffed but fully functional. Hoods OK. £17.00 delivered.

Hi guys and gals, I would like to know if Shimano HG50 9 Speed Cassette 13-25 would be a direct replacement for a 12-25 HG50 cassette? Assuming it's just a minor difference on the gearing and it should fit my PR2 wheelset fine? My PR2 wheelset had a 10 speed tiagra cassette on it but I...

Hey guys took my boardman adv8.9 to the local bike shop! Because the chain was slipping, spoke to the guys there and told me I needed a new cassette and chain which would cost me £120. So I thought I'd have a look how much they cost and how easy it is to do my self, safe to say it cost me £43...

I have some 10 speed shifters and a 10 speed Derailleur, that I want to fit to a mountain bike , which currently has a 8 speed cassette , to change this is there anything I need to be aware of , are they universal fitting …...

I had the pleasure of cleaning my son in laws bike. He had a new chain for it and the cassette was black with muck. I find white spirit is ideal but didn't have any. So I dissolved a dishwasher tab in boiling water and left a few minutes. Scrubbed each cog for a few seconds and job done. Now...

I'm in the process of changing the wheels on my Triban RC520 and RC500. The latter bike is a couple of months old and the RC520 about 18 months. The cassette on the newer bike came off without too much effort , but the older one seems stuck fast. Any suggestions to make this easier, or do I...

Today, I have removed the freewheel from my touring bike as I wanted to service the dirty hub, cogs, spokes etc. It was shocking to see how easy the process was. I have used a long braker bar and the £4 special tool for removing the freewheel. You don't disturb any other parts and it takes not...

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
