How do I transfer the rear gear cassette to my new wheel?

[Boy1608]

Hi all, I have recently bought a pair of fulcrum racing Quattros and need to transfer the rear gear hub to the new wheel.

I have basic alexrims from my felt on at the moment. How easy is it to do this? And what do I need to do? Do I need any specific tools?

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

I bought these and managed to change a cassette no problem for the first time.

If you already have a car or motorbike oil filter removal tool like this, it will do the job of a chain whip:

If you're anywhere near Sedgely park in Manchester I'll do it for you. No charge obviously! lol

Generous offer from nuttall1991 there ^

I'll do the same as well if you're anywhere near Bolton.

It's a simple job with the right tools

You are best off going and buying the tools yourself if you can't arrange for someone on here to do it, Evans wanted £11.50 from me and Halfords wanted 20 odd for a full wheel build!? I managed to pick up the tools for little over a tenner and it's a really easy job. Don't even need the chain whip to fix the cassette onto the hub, literally a 2 minute job

If the freehub on the new wheel is a different model, you may need to add or remove a spacer. I think the spacer may come with the new wheels but I'm not certain. Can anybody comment on this?

I transferred my 10 speed cassette over from my Akexrims to Racing 7's no problems.
The new hub doesn't come with a spacer but I definitely transferred the spacer first - honestly

Getting it all mixed up is part of the fun.

If you get them scrambled, seek out Shimano's website and download the data sheet for your cassette. Here's an example...

Mine were all marked with number of teeth so as long as you can count it is pretty self explanatory.

isn't it common sense the biggest one goes on first followed by the second biggest one etc? i think could judge it with them all laid out in front of me jumbled up
