cassette

or does it mean a different freehub body or even a new wheel? I'm thinking of putting something 'nicer' than Veloce Race Triple, like 11-speed Athena on the best frame; Genesis Equilibrium 853.

Bought my bike (Specialised Roubaix SL4 Comp) a year ago and have done a little over 2500 miles so I have booked it in for a service with the LBS (which I wish to support). As I understand it the basics of the service are strip down and re-grease, cable change, index gears. Top priority is the...

Just fitted using a Lindarets road link. I was amazed at how well it shifts as I'd heard the gaps between the sprockets were different on mtb cassettes. I did fit a spacer behind the cassette also. Can't wait to try it out on the steep stuff.

Hi I just need a Shimano or compatible 8-sp cassette that I can use to determine the number of teeth I should use on my Orange to get decent chain tension (I use it as a singlespeed but it doesn't have horizontal dropouts). I won't actually be using the cassette so it doesn't really matter how...

Hi all. Enjoying my ebike, but I need to change my rear cassette as I'm spinning out on the flats/slight downhills ( no e assist obviously ) It's currently an 11x34. Am I right in thinking an 11x32 would better solve my problem ? or have I got it totally wrong ? Advice and recommendations...

As above need for the end of the month doing the IOW randonnee and I could do with some assistance on the lumps.

I've been trying to rescue this back wheel for months, and I couldn't even get the cassette off, until I squeezed the cassette into a vice and off it came! Now i'm completely new to the world of freehubs so forgive my ignorance. I wan't to save the wheel as it is light and straight. However the...

Looking to change the cassette on my allez to one with smaller jumps. It has an 11-32 fitted at the moment, but I rarely use the 11 and very very rarely use above 24. (I live in a very flat area). Its a suntour one fitted currently, looking to just swap to a hg50 shimano (12-25?). I was told in...

hi I currently have a 11-32 cassette and I've have noticed these guys with much smaller rear cassettes and they take off at the ligths. What cassette can I put on my ultegra di2 group set to pick up speed as quick as these guys. Do I have to adjust the stop screws.

Someone will Know! We have bike with campy vento g3 rims and a 10 speed campy veloce cassette on it the other bike has Alexrims cx26 rims and a Miche 11speed campy athena compatible cassette on.I'd like to be able to change the cassettes over so the campy rims go on the lightest (athena speced...

Probably a stupid question but - if I wanted to change my rear cassette from 24-14 to 28-14, could I merely swap my rear wheel for a spare wheel I have with a 28-14 cassette on it? Or would I need to lengthen the chain as well?

Still got a bit more rim movement than I would like. I had a job getting the spring pauls back inside the hub and noticed that the third one was missing so presumably this is the cause. I think that I have got the cones tightened about right. t Looking inside the hub with a screwdriver, I...

Will a 11-28 cassette work with my Dura Ace 7900 rear derailleur (short cage I'm guessing) and standard cranks (39-53)?

Hi all, Well I always like to give stuff ago myself and enjoying learning how to maintain my two bikes so hear go's. I have had my Giant Defy 4 for a year now and coming up to only 1,500 miles since new. A few months back a local bike shop checked my chain stretch and suggested it would need...

Not much used. In nice nick. £25 posted More pics available by email if you PM me.

hi. Does anyone know of an 11spd cassette with 34 or 36 tooth that is Shimano Road compatible please. I currently have a 32 on the back but would like a bit of help on the really steep hills with my Compact chain set!! If the Ultegra rear mech won't cope I intend to use one of the adapters to...

Hi, I'm about to change the 11-32 SRAM cassette on my 2015 Boardman CX for the first time and just wanted to check that this is what I need: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sram-pg1030-10sp-mtb-cassette-chain-bundle/rp-prod135110 Also, would you advise getting a SRAM chain in the bundle...

I am going to replace my cassette. It's currently a Tiagra CS-4600 12-30T. I have a RD-5700 105 derailleur (or maybe it's RD-5701) and 105 shifters. My intention is to replace with a 12-28T Tiagra 4700. (I cannot find much, if any, availability of CS-4600 12-30T). I have read about pull...

I came to fit a 10 speed campag cassette to a wheel today that had previously been running 9 speed and have found that the newer cassette lockring won't fit as its 27mm, apparently i need a 26mm diameter lockring to match the older hub. Any one have one or an old 9 speed cassette with one to...

Hi I have a dawes karakum (lovely bike) with a nine speed cassette 11/32 I have found a Shimano Deore XT 9 speed cassette 11/32 Just wondering do i need to worry about the xt in the name ? Thanks

Anybody know if theres any out there and if so where - without spending a fortune with interloc racing Thanks ps its to go on my new hi mod build for the alps, i want to try and run 50/34 - 11/34 so it ill give me 1:1 ratio for the climbs

More bits to go: A pair of Campagnolo Mirage 9 speed shifters – Left hand and Right hand. Hoods are OK but the shifters are pitted. £15. Campagnolo Mirage 9 speed front and rear derailleurs – they work but are pitted and have light rust. £15 A used 9 speed Campagnolo cassette. It’s...

Today my chain started slipping in the 5th and 6th cog (counting from large to small) on my 10 speed 105. All others are fine. Last time this happened something went really wrong and my derailleur ripped off into the spokes. It literally just started half way through a 35 mile ride today...

Hi, have chainwhip on to stop the cassette moving Have the lockring remover in place (secured a little by quick release) to stop it coming out Have a lengthy spanner on the lockring remover and it won't budge. I obviously overtightened it on at some point. Have even tried getting a hammer on...

I've taken my old 9 speed Cassette off the bike, rebuilt the hub and now I've come to refit a new 9 speed Cassette it seems to big. The 11t gear stands proud and I cannot get the lock ring on. Any ideas?

So recently I've started using my Merida One forty.7 500 for my daily commute, about 25 miles a day, I know it's not what the bike is intended for but I'm just using what I've got. So today I replaced the chain because I had stretched the old one and didn't want to cause more wear to the...

I think the 11 speed shimano hub is 2.8mm wider than 10. Just ordered new wheels handbuilt on 105 hubs and I plan to use sram pg1130 cassette - I confess I am a bit confused about whether I will need ... 1mm only (shimano 11 speed cassette would use just 1mm I think?) 1mm + 1.8mm (think this...

So I ordered these back in January, and I do remember at the time that the cassette lock ring only just got enough purchase on the thread. However they have done 2,500km without any obvious problems. I took the bike in to the shop on Saturday for a broken spoke, and when I picked it up...
