I don't know what type of drive train I have. I just know I have a mountain bike (old panasonic mc 3500). Will this work?

This chain matches an 8 speed freehub or freewheel. That is, if you count the sprockets (cogs) on your rear wheel hub and you have 8 then this chain will probably work. Count the number of links in your old chain and use the same number for the new chain. If the new chain has more links you should remove some of them. Removal takes a chain tool.

the 850 is for an 8 speed drive train. if you have a 7-8spd on the old classic, than you should be able to use this chain. assuming no other changes had been made over the years. you will most likely need to shorten it. so either have a chain tool handy or bring it to a lbs. but if you do that, you might as well buy the chain from them. buy local first. then the internet. cheers

You could start with the specs of your bike on bikepedia website. If it looks like a match, you have a chance. Secondly, check with a bike mechanic at your local bike shop.

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.

I don't see any reason why it won't work as long as you keep the same number of gears. In your case make sure you choose a 10 speed cassette. You might have to shorten the chain if you go down several teeth in gearing such as a 11-24 tooth cassette. Although it may work using the same chain length as you currently have.

before you buy it you need to make sure that your crankshaft run out (wobble) is within tolerance. Your bike is generally known to have quality crankshafts, but there are exceptions, if your run out is more than .003 you cant use gear drive, you should be good, but check before you buy. I am happy with these cams.

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 :) ).

Thanks all. I purchased it. Now it is time to find a mountain bike fitting for it. Any suggestions?

It will function with the bike but you won't be happy with the knobby tire on a mountain bike. A hybrid tire would be better

yes it will work. Adjusting for perfect shifting was a little challenging. It is best to use Sram rear derailer and cassette with Sram shifters and vs.

this is a mountain cassette it wont work. yhe hub is different (im pretty sure)

if your bike frame have it no issues, if not you must use a derailleur adapter. It works fine with a 44t chainring.

Tony, I have no idea. You need to contact DynoJet at... http://www.dynojet.com/powervision/ I hope it works for you. I've had very good results on my bike.

It does not matter if it is a mountain bike. what matters is if the axel thread is same or not, and axel radius. and if the axel is long enough. Now I do not remember the size of the axel on my bike but I do remember mine did not fit and then I got replacement and that fit. so please read description/size/thread etc. and check on your bike.

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.

Katie,I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I did use this on one of my existing road bikes. It was a fairly simple process, if you have the right tools. I have not had any problem with the cassette since my purchase. Now, whether or not this could be used on a mountain bike I don't see why it couldn't. The main distinction between road and mountain bike are in the crank (what your pedals fit to ). Mountain bike cranks tend to be much smaller. Let me know if this clears things up for you.

I put this one on a cheaper Huffy mountain bike with a solid straight shaft and a bearing set on either side! It was a great upgrade and worked perfect. Very simple to install and I think it should work on your bike with problem.

Not positive but I think it will work. Walmart has both bicycles. Just compare to see. I bought the cheap walmart 26" mountain bike.

It will not work on my bike which is a Diamond Back. The rear axle is not long enough to install the coupling. But works fine with the Diamond Back which my wife rides. Go Figure! Also works fine with our fold up bikes which we take with our RV. Especially like the fact that Trek Pilot folds up so small to take with the RV travel. The dog took to it right away and loves to travel by bike with us.
