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

9 speed cassettes added a cog to the 8 speed cassette while maintaining the same overall width. Simply put – 8, 9, 10 speed cassettes all fit on the same hub. A seven speed cassette will fit on an 8 speed freehub with the use of a spacer.

Can I put a Shimano cassette on a Campagnolo hub?

The basic difference and reason why we need to change freehub bodies between groupsets is that the splines on the body are a different pattern, so a Campagnolo cassette will not slide onto a Shimano/SRAM body. Similarly Campagnolo will not fit on the other.

Are 8 and 9 speed cassettes the same width?

Same width, different spacing Both 8-speed and 9-speed have the same freehub width, while the 7-speed is a bit narrower. The spacing of gears of 8-speed and 9-speed differ. You need a spacer behind a 7-speed cassette for it to fit on an 8-speed or 9-speed freehub.

Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub road bike?

This is a tiny difference and, more important, it means the hybrid cassette will fit perfectly on any of your 9/10 speed wheels. And, if your derailleurs are properly adjusted, these hybrid cassettes will shift great on your Shimano 11-speed drivetrain.

Can I replace my 8 speed cassette with a 10 speed?

Also be aware that prolonged use of a 10-speed cassette on an 8/9-speed freehub body will cause dents to form in the freehub body (because the 10-speed cogs are so narrow). The 10-speed freehub bodies have taller splines, so they avoid this problem (but don’t work with 8- or 9-speed cassettes).

Can I replace a 7-speed freewheel with an 8 speed?

You can change to 8 speed, but a normal rear wheel for roadbikes will not fit directly into the frame because it’s 130 mm wide. Depends on the stiffness of the rear frame if it can be pushed together safely to 130 mm.

Can freehub bodies swap?

If you need to change your freehub/driver, you will need to get the same brand and model. You cannot mix-n-match freehub/drivers from different brands. They will not work.

Can I replace freehub body?

You can either buy a new freehub body or if you’re lucky your local bike shop or bike recycling project may have a stash! Your replacement freehub body needs to have the same interface as your old one (meaning the same spline pattern) so it can fit onto your old hub.

Can I use 9 speed derailleur with 7 speed cassette?

Can I use a 9-speed derailleur on a 7-speed cassette? Shimano 7-speed derailleurs have a rear shift ratio of 1.7 whereas that of SRAM 7-speed derailleurs is 1.1. Therefore, a 9-speed derailleur should work fine with a 7-speed cassette if the shifter and the cassette match the brand of the derailleur.

Can I replace a 9-speed cassette with a 11-speed?

You’ll need to change the chainwheels and the cranks, the rear derailleur, the brake-shift levers, the cassette and the chain of course. The rear wheel probably has an older hub but then if you’re lucky and the hub is designed for 10-speed as well it will also take 11.

Do I need a spacer for 11-speed cassette?

However, the 11-speed wheels are retro-fittable for 9 and 10-speed. They come with a 1.85mm spacer to take up the extra slack. If you have a 9-speed cassette, you only use the 1.85mm spacer. If you want to use 11-speed Shimano components with a Mavic wheel, simply use no spacers at all.

Can I replace an 8 speed cassette with an 11 speed?

Converting an 8-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 change to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 8-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.

Can you put an 8SP cassette on a 10sp hub?

A 10sp cassette is narrower than 9sp or 8sp, so it’s 10sp which needs the spacer. When you remove your 10sp cassette, you should find a thin spacer (aka big washer about 1.something mm thick) behind it. Take that off and put your 8sp cassette on without it.

Which is narrower a 9sp or a 10sp cassette?

A 10sp cassette is narrower than 9sp or 8sp, so it’s 10sp which needs the spacer. When you remove your 10sp cassette, you should find a thin spacer (aka big washer about 1.something mm thick) behind it.

Are there Shimano 8 speed cassettes with 9 speed spacing?

The MD7 8-speed cassettes with 9-speed spacing have a chain protector in place of the innermost sprocket, like Shimano Nexave. Sprockets are steel. The different model numbers with the same sprockets differ in the finish: The catalog listed below is available online only from a source in the Czech Republic, or on our site.

What should sprocket spacing be on Campagnolo cassettes?

Sprocket spacing varies across Campagnolo 10- and 11-speed cassettes to improve shifting in the midrange. 11-speed spacing also varies over the top 3 sprockets according to the actual ratios for better shifting with the most recent 11-speed rear derailleur.
