What is CS Shimano?

What is CS Shimano?

I am looking at getting a new bike, and am trying to figure out what the shimano abbreviations for cassettes actually stand for. Their cassettes are broken into two groups, CS and MF. The CS has a free body hub, and the MF has a screw on type cassette (my favorite type).

Are 9 speed cassettes interchangeable?

Subject: RE: Are 9 speed and 10 speed cassettes interchangeable? 9- and 10-speed cassettes will both fit on the same wheel. The splines are the same for each. If you run your 10-speed shifters in friction mode (not possible if you’re using STI “brifters” , then you can use either cassette on that system.

How big is a 9 speed cassette?

Back when Shimano was largely running the world of cassettes, your typical 9-speed road cassette ratios were: 12-23, 12-25, 12-27, 11-21, and 11-23. SRAM offered a 12-26. Campagnolo offered a 13-26. My list isn’t exhaustive; this just covers what most of us rode.

Can I put a 10 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub?

The most you should need to do to allow a 10 speed cassette to work on most 9 speed hubs is install a spacer behind the cassette to make sure the cassette seats tightly. This same compatibility holds true for the new 2005 Ultegra 10 speed components.

What is HG freehub?

HG, short for ‘HyperGlide’, is the most common and traditional freehub body design available. Created by Shimano, it is the standard used for cassettes that have at least an 11-tooth cog as the smallest cog on the cassette. HG Specific cassettes are available in 8,9,10, and 11speed options.

What is the difference between HG and IG chains?

Registered. The HG chain is a narrower chain meant for 8-9 speed drive trains. The IG chain is wider and meant for 6,7,8 speed drive trains.

Can I put 10 speed cassette on 9 Speed Hub?

Can you put a 8 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub?

Campagnolo 8-speed cassettes used a slightly different spline pattern from the current pattern used for 9-and 10-speed systems. 8-speed Campagnolo cassettes will not fit on newer “9-speed” and “10-speed” hubs.

Can a 9 speed be converted to 11-speed?

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.
