I have a 7 speed Shimano hyperglide 40 that is 34 mm thick. Any idea how thick this cassette is?

Michael, although I don't have a vernier caliper which would have provided the most accurate dimension, using a standard measuring tape the XT cassette is 40 mm. aprox.

This is a Freewheel. It mounts onto a rear hub with threads. I am not familiar with cassettes but I don't think this will work. I don't have the bike with me at home to measure but I believe it is wider than a 5 speed. The bike I used it on is a Vitus with 126mm rear spacing that I upgraded from a 6 speed to a 7 speed with 7 speed index shifters and the frame with luck had enough clearence. I hope some information will be helpful with your upgrade. Good luck!

can't tell you how thick but worked great on my honda dirt bike. i abuse it a lot and so far so good.

No. Chain will be too wide for the spacing in between the cogs on the cassette. You will need a 9 speed specific chain

It's rated to only 12-32 with a 41 tooth capacity: http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/road/ultegra/product.-code-RD-6800-GS.-type-.rd_road.html . Capacity is the maximum sum of the differences on the front and the rear for example 12-32 rear and 34-48 front is 20 + 14 requires a 34 tooth capacity. So you're good on the capacity, likely, but exceed the maximum rating. Some people go well over the Shimano ratings, which are conservative to assure optimal performance, but at some point you hit trouble and it simply won't shift. One approach is to use a smaller little cog in the front. For example, I have 32-48 on one of my bikes, which in combination with a 12-32 gives me a 1:1 gear which should be good for steep dirt roads.

It should be... Most hyper glide chains are compatible with 7/8 speeds. Cheers!

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.

yes it will take a standard ACS or SHIMANO BMX freewheel. 1/8 inch is fine. I would get the wide tape. the quality of this will is decent, but if you have the money I would go at least one grade better. it's about the cheapest wheel there is. the hub is that weak point.

I think it depends on your cassette. It's meant for 9-speed cassettes. On Shimano's website, it's listed under the mountain bike parts. The Shimano road bike derailleurs are the Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, Tiagra, Sora, 2300 and 2200 series.

This is 700c wheel so the size is the same, as for the 7spd cassette it will fit but you might need some freewheel spacers to take up the extra length 9spd freewheel hub.

Hi! I doubt it could even handle 9 speed; SHIMANO gear is dialed in tight these days. It can definitely use XTR 10 speed Chain quite well however as I have and a recommended Upgrade As is the XTR/DURA ACE level bottom bracket and cable sets. Stick with the spec's! Happy Trails

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.

Yes. I am currently using a 7 speed cassette on this hub. However you will need a spacer as the width of the 7 speed cassette is not the same as the 8 speed cassette.

No this is designed for shimano or sram cassettes only. This will work with 8 through 10 speed cassettes I think a 7 speed will work but needs a spacer.
938544
Yes,it will accept shimano 8,9,and10 speed cassettes.If your cassette is Hyperglide C,you will need a 1 mm spacer to make it work.

Yes, it works fine on mine. I run an Ultegra 12-25 cassette and ultegra shifters and have no problem. I like this chain better than SRAM or the shimano chain.

Sorry, mine was bent so I sent it back, it looked like it would fit any modern 5-7 speed freewheel(like a shimano) though, just threads on.
