I have a Tiagra 10 speed 12-30 cassette I want to replace. What can I use without adjusting the deraileur? I would like to upgrade to Ultegra or 105

There are only three adjustments on the derailleur itself. They are the high, low and B. If the ratios are the same, you torque the locknut to factory specs and have cleaned out all the grime than you do not have to adjust a thing. That said if you don't know how to adjust them, I suggest that you let your local bike store handle the job. Two weeks ago I went over a berm and onto the side of a hill when I derailed. I could have been killed but ended up very lucky and just laughing while on my butt with my bike in the air still clipped in. I needed to adjust the limit on the derailleur for non-cross chain high tension operation. There are only three adjustments on the derailleur itself. They are the high, low and B.

Typically you only need to adjust your rear derailleur if you are changing wheels. Changing cassettes from tiagra to 105 or ultegra should not matter. Make sure you get the correct number of gears needed to fit your rear derailed (10 speed, 9 speed...). Adjusting rear derailleur's normally is due to changing wheels between different wheel manufacturers. Each wheel company has is a little different and causes you to have to tune the rear derailleur. Changing the cassette should not make you have to adjust the rear derailleur. When you replace the cassette, make sure you tighten the new cassette on with a wrench until you feel some small vibrations. Here is a video on replacing your cassette (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05WxxDo4CvY). After you have replace the cassette, shift through the gears and the bike should be ready to go. If you find that the gears are not shifting as well as they were before, then you try and determine if the rear derailleur is not pushing the chain up gears on the cassette or down gears on the cassette as well as before. There is a round knob at the back of the rear derailleur that you can turn by hand up or down. You turn it up to allow the chain to move up gears on the cassette more easily and turn it down to make the chain move down gears on the cassette more easily. Here is a video on simple tuning for rear derailleur's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_bGcuezsIo). VERY IMPORTANT: I would only adjust the small black knob by hand, do not adjust anything with a screwdriver.

I have the ultegra short derailer and switched from a 11-28 tiagra cassette to the 12-30 ultegra casette. It maxes out the derailer but has worked great for the Pittsburgh hills. Just completed the DC to PGH ride with that setup.

you can find answers to compatibility issues at the shimano website. you will have to do some searching because there's a lot of data and it will take a moment but you can find it there. i'm not that familiar with all shimano components to give a reliable response.

yes, assuming you have 7 speed rear deraillure shifter and chain. The width of the cassette is usually the same, it's the width of the gears plus spacing between the gears that are different.

Cassettes and freewheels have the same spacing, you can even use other freewheel brands. I think there's a small difference between As long as you derailer is Shimano compatible, Suntour derailers don't move the same width for each "click" cable pull.

Direct replacement for Shimano tool TL-LR15 -- should be good for any hyperglide cassette.

Hi Michael, I am confused also, when I bought them Feb 2014, they were silver and were called Shimano Ultegra and now the picture has changed, they are black and silver and now called Shimano Dura-Ace which is a different and more expensive shifter! The price is correct for an Ultegra but a Dura Ace would be much more expensive. However they both look the same and i love my Ultegra shifter. I am sure for this price you will get the Ultegra in Silver. Mine came from a different supplier so you might check with this new supplier to confirm what you'll get. Dura Ace or Ultegra, silver or black/silver. Since I purchased the picture changed and so did the named but the price is the same???

A few questions. Does your bike have a freewheel hub or a cassette hub? On a freewheel hub, you should see a ring of internal splines on the inside of the bearing ring. What brand is your shifter and derailleur? If the shifter is Shimano, this should have the correct gear spacing. This is very critical if you have indexed shifting. How many teeth on the big gear on your present freewheel? If 28, good, otherwise, you may need to lengthen or shorten the chain. Note that when changing the freewheel, it is a good time to replace the chain. Do you have and know how to use a freewheel removal tool? It usually takes a fair amount of force to remove the old freewheel and you must use the correct freewheel tool. A mounted bench vise, or a long box end wrench is also required. From the answers to the questions above, you should be able to determine if this will work for your bike.

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.

Obviously the "xxT" is the number of teeth around the various gears. Separately from that is how the desrailleur is mounted: either a braze-on or a clamp-on. If a clamp-on style, the diameter of the down-tube is given as either 28.6mm (narrow/small tube), , 31.8mm (medium /mid size tube) or 34.9mm (large tube). You need to select the correct size for the frame's down tube. They are not interchangeable. Some of the Shimano desrailleurs come with a sleeve to build-up a 28.6mm to a 31.8mm. Hope that helps.

This is a freewheel, not a cassette, there is a difference. Remember to replace your chain at the same time.

i would only guess; but it should work since you have a 10-speed cassette. i got this chain to replace a 6 year old Ultegra chain. I would not worry about lack of fitting.

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.

I had purchased a couple different "Ditca" freewheels and neither fit. I finally ordered a Shimano SF-1200 and it fit perfectly.

The freewheel you need depends on what wheel you have. The freewheel doesn't generally need to be replaced with the cassette.

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).

if your bike is 7 vel. you're not going to have any kind of problem. just mount your freewheel, and ready to run. if maybe a little adjustment with small screws having the deraileur you can fix is needed. I hope you solve Manny

I couldn't say for sure, but this is made for mountain cassettes with wide ranges, with not so small differences between gears. I would say get a road derailur made for the small steps between gears. Cant say for sure though.

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.
