What derailed Do I use on a road bike? My bike has Shimano Tiagra GS 8 spd cassette. 12-23t I would like to change to an 11-34t and drop to a 22t sprocket from a 30t crank sprocket. What derailed do I need to make this work to make work. Crank sprocket...

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.

Yes, this cassette will work with a road bike. In fact, I installed this on a Trek road bike.

This will work, but you need to check on the shimano web site to see if your rear deraileur will work with the 28 tooth cog. Mine made noise because the idler gears were making contact with the 28t cog. I ended up buying a new mid length cage rear deraileur. They are pretty cheap online.

Yes, you can use!! No problem !!!! There is two rolles near the Rear Derailleur (one role leftside and one role right side), you will fix it there!!!!

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

No problem regarding the 8 speed cassette. The front derailleur doesn't know or care how many sprockets are on the rear.You may have a slight problem regarding the chain. An eight speed chain is slightly wider than a nine. Adjustment will be more critical to avoid rubbing.

Not enough information to tell you if this derailleur will work for you. Need an idea of the cable routing and if cabless pull from the top or bottom of the derailleur. Sorry I can't help you resolve this question. Nick Carper

It would not, per the specifications. You would need a rear derailleur with a capacity of at least 40 for what you seek. The RD-6700 GS has a capacity of 39T, might have to use an MTB RD to get what you are looking for.The Shimano RD-5600 GS (long cage) has a capacity of 37T. Your current combination of compact chain-rings (50-34= 16) plus PG 1070 (32-11= 21) is up to the RD-5600 GS's capacity (16+21= 37).You can try it, but it would be much beyond the design specifications.

Freewheels and cassettes are two different and non-compatible gear clusters for the rear hub of derailer bicycles. If you are buying a new gear cluster and are presently using a 7 speed cassette, best to buy a direct replacement cassette gear cluster. If you bought a cassette and found out your hub was older and used freewheels then those are also available. Go to the Sheldon Brown website for a more complete description of both gear systems.

I had an ultegra 11-28 and replaced it with a 12-30 from Amazon to get a slightly lower climbing gear here in the mountains. The chain fit; only some minimal rear derailleur adjustments were needed. I have been riding that cassette for about 1000 miles now with no problems. Shifting is fine. LBS did the installation and adjustment for $6.

Yes I have a 90's Peugeot with stock black paint and orange, yellow,stripes Shimano works smoothly. If your bike came with the nylon rear derailliar it could snap in half, if hasn't allready happened, it will weaken over time , and then one day? I converted to one chain wheel on the crank, went from 12 to 6 speed, left the rear freewheel 6 cog in place, and do not have duplicated gear ratios. Removed useless shifter setup for front mess and gained functional simplicity

Depends on the existing deraileur, things like long cage and shifter components being shimano compatible have to be there. Chain length may need to be addressed.

my bike is an old Raleigh MB with friction shifter and lowered grearing on the front for hilly biking.Everything on my bike is Shimano except the front crank(34 tooth). Lowering the gearing was like getting a new bike. Hope this helps.

If you're derailleur is a shimano tourney this should work fine without a longer chain. The freewheel tool for the removal of the old freewheel is the only tool you'll need.

Yes you need a rear derailleur hanger. Yes this will work with a 44T front crank chainring, the shimano crank set I paired this with was a 22, 32 44T, however I ended up taking the 44 off and replacing it with a bash guard. The largest you can go on the cassette is 36T.

Hello Tyler, Amazon asked if I would respond to your inquiry regarding compatibility of the OT-SP40 shift cables. I installed the shift cables on a 2011 shimano ultegra 10 speed drive train with a compact crank set. As I stated in the review the cables,housing and included hardware work well and the shifting is actually a bit crisper than the original equipment. As to why they do not recommend these cables for 10 speed derailleurs is a mystery to me. I do change the cables annually so a cable set that's less than seven dollars in price may lack some longevity but to me that is not a concern. That being said you may want to contact the seller regarding the compatibility of your drive train and the SP40 Cables. Hope this response helped. Ride Safe, Steve
