Condensed Answer: A 9-speed SRAM or Shimano cassette can be installed on an 11-speed MTB SRAM or Shimano hub right away. A 9-speed SRAM or Shimano cassette will require a 1.85mm spacer to be mounted securely on an 11-speed Shimano or SRAM road hub.
Can I put a 9 speed cassette on a 10 speed hub?
Condensed Answer: A 9-speed Shimano or SRAM MTB cassette can be installed on a 10-speed Shimano or SRAM MTB hub right away. A 9-speed cassette is wider than a 10-speed road cassette and is therefore too big for 10-speed specific Shimano road hubs.
Can I change a 9 speed cassette to 11 road bike?
Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed
You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.
Do all cassettes fit all hubs?
Most cassette hubs are compatible with Shimano cassette cogs. SRAM cassettes and most Miche, IRD and SunRace cassettes use the same inter-sprocket spacing as Shimano, but at least some SRAM 10-speed cassettes do not fit aluminum-body Dura-Ace hubs.
Can I use a 10 speed cassette on 11 speed hub?
It will shift fine with a Shimano or SRAM 11-speed system. And in case any of you were wondering, if you have a 10-speed Shimano or SRAM system and buy a wheelset now, you can still run 10-speed cogs on that wheel. To put a 10-speed cogset on an 11-speed freehub, you just put a spacer behind the largest cog.
40 related questions foundAre 10 and 11 speed cassettes interchangeable?
A 10-speed Shimano or SRAM cassette can still be fitted to an 11-speed body, but a spacer will be required to make up for the difference in width. There is another, more subtle, incompatibility that affects different brands of hubs and wheels, but it will only have an impact on those riders using multiple wheelsets.
Can you turn a 11 speed cassette into a 10 speed?
These cassettes are pre-machined and will fit directly onto 10 speed freehub bodies and are available in 11-25, 11-28, and 11-32t. However, if you already have an 11 speed cassette that you wish would fit other wheels*, Lasco Concept will machine it for you.
Can you fit an 11 speed cassette?
Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they're at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.
Can I put a 11 speed cassette on a 12 speed hub?
The 12-speed cassette is designed to be backwards compatible with the existing 11-speed road freehub, while the 12 speed-specific freehub (available on Dura Ace hubs currently) can't be used with the 11-speed parts. Sram HG-style cassettes are largely the same spacing as Shimano, with the 10 speed exception.
Can a 9 speed derailleur work with 11 speed?
No, an 11 speed road shifter has a different pull ratio than an 8, 9 or 10 speed. Any 8, 9 or 10 speed road shifter will work with any 8, 9 or 10 speed road rear derailleur (unless it's Tiagra 4700). However, the 11 speed road system pulls more cable per shift and therefore is not backwards compatible.
Can I upgrade my bike cassette?
Of course yes, anyone can change a bike cassette by himself, it's not hard bike mechanics, you need specific tools for the process, but if you're not sure or you don't have the tools at the moment, it's always better to give it to a professional bike mechanic for a quick change.
Can a 9 speed be converted to 12 speed?
Not only are the nine-speed components rated to be more durable and have fewer teeth for saving weight, this also gives a rider the same gear ratio range he can get with a 12-speed. The kicker is that you must use a Prime 9 chain for this application, but any 10-,11- or 12-speed wide/narrow chainring is compatible.
Can I change my 9 speed to a 10 speed?
9 speed and 10 speed cassette are the same size.. they fit all the same wheels N hubs. only diff is the spacing between the rings and the thickness of the chain. you'll need a new shifter, derailleur and chain to make a 10 speed work on a 9 speed.
Can you put a 9 speed cassette?
A 9-speed SRAM or Shimano cassette can be installed on an 11-speed MTB SRAM or Shimano hub right away. A 9-speed SRAM or Shimano cassette will require a 1.85mm spacer to be mounted securely on an 11-speed Shimano or SRAM road hub.
Are 9 speed and 10 speed cassettes the same width?
they are the same width. The distance between the 9 speed gears is ever so slightly wider than on a 10 speed cassette (hence why 10 speed chains need thinner side plates than 9 speed ones.
Will a 12 speed cassette fit a 9 speed hub?
It is a wide ratio cassette that has an alloy spider, lockring, and spacer. It will fit any Shimano or SRAM 8, 9, or 10-speed freehub body, and Shimano Dynasys 11-speed mountain freehub bodies.
Can I upgrade Shimano 11 speed to 12 speed?
Unfortunately no, there is not. As I've mentioned above, 11-speed Di2 components need a firmware update to make them work with 12-speed Di2.
What is the difference between a 10 speed and 11 speed cassette?
Tighter spacing on cassettes AND wider range from top to bottom of cassette are possible in the same cassette with 11 vs 10. This can make a pretty big difference when climbing. 4. The 11 speed stuff just shifts better than the comparable line of 10 speed components, it's actually quite noticeable.
Are all Mavic wheels 11 speed compatible?
Mavic wheels are completely compatible w/ 11 speed Shimano or SRAM cassettes... pull off the thick Mavic spacer and you're ready to go.
Can you mix shifters and derailleurs?
No. The ratio has to be the same, so the rear shifter and derailleur have to be the same brand. You can mix SRAM and Shimano for the front shifter and derailleur, though. And the brand of crankset doesn't matter.
Are all 11 speed chains compatible?
11 speed chains of all the manufacturers are mutually compatible. Since 10 and 11 speed chains are almost the same width, as well as cassette teeth, 10 speed chain can be used in stead of 11 speed one, without it jamming between the sprockets.
Can you fit a 12 speed cassette on a 10 speed hub?
In addition to being able to fit our 12-speed cassettes on Shimano HG 10 and 11 speed freehubs, you can also convert the ROTOR 13-speed cassette into a 12-speed one and use it with your current wheels.
What freehub does SRAM NX use?
The NX cassette uses Shimano's HyperGlide (HG) freehub body instead of SRAM's XD Driver found on the rest of the brand's 12-speed cassettes. This means the cassette's range is only 11-50t compared to 10-52t for the more expensive XD versions.
