My chain rings are 22,32,42 and I find I can go anywhere I want with my 8-speed 32-12, which is no longer made. You may find it on eBay. By the way, if you have a rear wheel with an 8-speed cassette, you can use a 7-speed cassette with a spacer to replace the spot where first gear usually is. Sometimes the 7-speed cassette will have rivets that stick out but they can be ground flat and work fine. All my bikes have 8-speed hubs, so I can use either 8-speed or 7-speed with the spacer. I don't like 9-speed and up because of the narrower chain.

13 - 15 - 17 - 20 - 24 - 29 - 34 Teeth. Personally, I think this is too wide a range and went with 14 - 32T which has 14 - 16 - 18 - 21 - 24 - 28 - 32 and does not have quite as big a jump between the gears.

Hi there, it has 13-15-17-20-24-29-34. It is pretty wide but it help me maintain high cadence on the large ring plus gives me the low gear for the steep climbs. I hope this helps.

I would not be inclined to try it, the 10 speed chains run best on 10 speed gears, on the "less" gears while I know you can put a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette it is more difficult to maintain / tune as the 10 is a narrower chain so from my experience I would not try it, the KMC is a beautiful chain for the 10 speeds. KMC does make 7/8 speed chains for the thicker gears, but I am not sure they have it in colors the KMC model I think for 7/8 is the Z51 that is set for 6/7/8 speed specifically, I would be inclined to go that way for the KMC chain

It depends on your chain, the brand and and how old that 7 speed cassette is. The width of chains have changed over time and just installing new gears can be problematic as a consequence of both the change in chain link sizes as well as the consequent changes in derailleurs. Hard to say. It will probably work in a pinch but the only way to be sure that your entire drivetrain works in harmony, you kinda need a complete set (cassette, chain, chainrings and sometimes even derailleurs and shifters if you're changing component generations).

Any Shimano / microshift / sunnrace rear derailleur will be controlled by this shifter. If derailleur description says 7/8 or even 9 speed it will work. The "speed of derailleur" is really its range of movement, ie how many cogs wide it can span. 6/7/8 all use the same chain because spacing is the same. When I had mounted these A050 thumb / paddle shifters on my sons 8 spd roadbike, we could only use 7 cogs, so we adjusted High or Low limit screw to exclude top or bottom cog. If u have flatbar these are a great choice. If u have road style drop handlebars, consider the related Shimano A070 Brake Lever Shifters.

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

I didn't count the teeth on gears 2 through 6, but obviously they are between 14 & 34. The Megarange 1st gear is riveted to the second gear. I don't see any other riveting for the smaller clusters.I will try to update this answer later when I look at the boxes they came in. I can say that it looks exactly or very close to what the original bike came with. Remember that this is a cheaper type of cassette compared to racing bikes etc.. I say that because it is easy to buy the wrong tooling to remove cassette. I beleive the correct tooling is a Park 1 or 2 type. I can tell you that by researching my tooling purchase.

Well, I bought two sizes, one with a 7.1 mm pin for 7-8 speed chains and one with a 7.3 mm pin for 6 speed chains. You have to know the pin size of your chain and buy the missing link for that size pin. Good luck,

This works fine with a wide range of 7 speed gear sets if you had an indexed shifter like gripshift it will probably work I've used it on Shimano and many cheap brand Chinese ones and always worked flawlessly

You need to find out the treading type for your bottom bracket for your 2005 XCL access frame, threading type and length of the original Bottom bracket.Research the original spechs from the manufacturer, owners manuals and repair manuals are good sources and then come back with a specific question.The Shimano UN55 comes in different lengths but I think they are all 48mm English thread but I could be wrong on that too, do your homework !

Yes it is. I have a shimano hg51 cassette 11-32t and a vuelta corsa triple crankset 52-42-32 and I can get every gear. Remember it is a 9-10 speed detailed made for narrower chains so you'll get some rubbing if you switch up or down

To my knowledge: If you have a newer Shimano cassette there is only one size. You just need to decide if you want a pin. The pin fits in the quick release skewer. If you don't have a quick release get the one without the pin. Also check the Park Tool website under tools/free wheel and cassette, you will find the fr-5 and fr-5g.

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

The chain is intended for 6-7 speed 1/2" x 3/32" drives. It used to be listed in the ad but i guess they removed it. The chain is tough but it's finish is dull grey. It is a little noisier when shifting i've noticed but i believe that is just the finish rubbing in the sprocket before it rises to the next gear. Hope this helps.

I paid the lower price (~$8) and got 4 cables, two brake and two shifter. All were plenty long for my bike. From the number of times the "size" question has been asked and the number of non-helpful answers received, I'm guessing we're never going to find out what "size" means until someone blindly buys the "size 4" for $22, without knowing what they're getting, and clues us all in. Do you want to volunteer :-)

Hi Joseph. I originally bought the 9800500 size chains to use on my PT Cruiser, which has 205-55x16 tires. (A little shorter and wider than yours but pretty similar.) They were really, REALLY tight and a pain in the ass to put on. I recently bought a new set and went one size larger, I think they're 9800600. They are much easier to put on and still fit nice and snug. If I need to replace them again that's what I'll get. And another word of advice for you - I find that these chains work well but you want to be careful to always avoid spinning the wheels. I was trying to climb a steep hill in very icy conditions that were just too much for the chains to cope with. The wheels spun, the car slipped sideways just a few feet and that caused the chain on one wheel to slide off to the inside of the wheel. It got torn up on the suspension, no damage to the car but that's why I bought the new set. Obviously, I like them enough to buy a new set but I'll be more careful with them now and I'd recommend everyone else should be too. Tom

The answer posted by Hunt Ma is the right answer. You don't need a link. But if you want spares, you can go by the number of speeds it is designed for. 6-7-8-speed chain is wider than 7-8-speed chain. (Z-72 is 7-8-speed chain). Always go with chains and parts designed for the same number of speeds. Finally, if you have an 8-speed cluster, chains designed for 6 as well as 7or 8 speeds don't shift as cleanly due to the slight extra width.

There are two kinds of 105 RD, the 5700 and the 5701. The 5701 is officially compatible with a 30T cog in the short cage version (despite the fact that Shimano don't make a 30T 105 cassette). The 5700 only officially goes up to 28T. The only way to tell the difference between the two version is the shape of the bottom of the cage.
