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.

first, if your bike has road bike style crankset, then there are no 22t sprockets for it. though a mtb crank will fill a 22t. second a 32t cassette will get you up any hill with a 30t crank sprocket. also the 11-32 has a smoother gear ratio between sprocket then 12-34. If you decided to swap cassette, make sure that your chain is long enough as well as your derailleur cage.

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 used a 7 speed cassette on mine. I had to adjust the spacing on the axle. I took the old axle spacers from my old rim and transferred them over.

The cassette should work on any Shimano or SRAM hub. As far as I know, all Shimano hubs, mountain or road, use the same 'mounting pattern' for cassettes.

First, I don't know. I have found calling Shimano Customer Service line to be very helpful when I had the same question. But in my experience as long as the number of speeds is the same, and the largest/smallest sprocket size is the same, you should be OK. Again, you should call Shimano to confirm. It is based on the derailleur, and in my case, I discovered from Shimano customer service that I was able to keep my same derailleur when I made my switch.

You have to install a rear gear cassette with the number of gears you wish to have. I installed an 8-gear cassette(Shimano) on my Trek. I think I read that these wheels accept up to 9 gear cassette with an adapter but I don't remember reading anything about a 10-gear cassette. I would call the company and ask.

I have a Jamis with an 11-32 cassette and this chain was original equipment. I am now using it as a replacement chain. SRAM derailleur and cassette, but I don't think that matters.

Howdy... all rear derailleurs need a hanger. You can buy bolt-on hangers if you don't already have one on your frame. Inespensive, but likly to break if you do a lot of rough riding. I'm not sure but I think this one will only accomodate up to about a 37 tooth chain ring. Check on Shimano's site though. My own rear cassettes only fo up to either 37 or 39 teeth.

I feel like these Shimanos run a little small. I wear a size 14 sneaker and I found that size 47 and size 48 were too tight for me, length-wise. I ended up with a size 50, and it seems a bit too large.

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).

Just to be clear: The HG50 -7 cassette is used on a free hub. A free wheel would use some thing like a Shimano MF-HG37 sprocket set. These parts and the tools used are not interchangable.

You would need a 10 sped chain (thinner than 9 sped to fit the 10 speed cogs) Also you may need a different front derailleur if going from a double to a triple Shimano has a Web site technical documents specifications or call Shimano technical departmeant

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 !

You can use a Dura Ace chain without issue. A KMC X10Sl chain is another less expensive option / upgrade. It just needs to be a 10 speed chain. You don't need to buy another 12-30 cassette if you want to get something else. For example, an 11-25 would work just fine but you may need to shorten the chain. Park has a chain length calculator here http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/chain-length-sizing that works really well and takes the guess work out of the determination. As far as adjusting the derailleur is concerned, most likely nothing more than a slight barrel adjustment is all that will be needed. Have fun.

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

028342's answer is correct. however they come up with 18 speed because this can work on a 6 speed rear. the widths of each gear between 6/7/8 are roughly the same but 6 speeds for the most part went out of production years ago so they stopped marketing chains for them. Bikes are usually marketed for how many total gears they have ( the number of chainrings in the front x the number of gears in the rear). but chains are made for specifically for the rear gearing due to difference in width between each cog and width of the cogs teeth (more gears=smaller width) so they are marketed for the rear gearing and include the total gears as an added discriptor.
