The 11-30 cassette is compartible to my 105 short rear diar

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.

First, it's a 12-30 not 11-30 and I have used this cassette with both a 105, RD 5700 short cage and an Ultegra RD 6700 short cage derailleur. That said, it is not compatible according to Shimano. I have read a great deal about longer B tension screws, frame geometry and hanger length but have done nothing beyond fitting the cassette and cranking the B tension to get about 1/4" (6mm) clearance between the jockey roller and cogs. If you're switching from an 11-28 the chain will probably be long enough but if you current biggest cog is 25 or smaller you will probably need a new chain. Personally, I have had trouble installing the Shimano connecting pins but have had no problem using the KMC quick links with Shimano chains.

I agree with Michael B Hare's answer. It is not within Shimano spec, but it MAY very well work depending on the geometry of your derailleur hanger. Sometimes it won't, but there are a lot of reports saying this combination works fine. MBH is also correct in his warning about chain length....

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.

You could if you're using it with an 8 speed shifter but I wouldn't advise it. In other words, the answer has to be no. The 7 and 8 speed cassettes have the same width, end to end, in order to fit the frame spacing. So, by definition, the spacing of the individual gears has to different and must be matched to their respective shifters. Does that make sense?

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

also i noticed you said.... "the original oem radio and disc changer as well as the cassette"is it a double din???? if it is....you need the correct din replacement.... again if you have the correct din and the harness(es)....you will be fine!!

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.

It sounds like you might have a medium cage rear derailleur. I have a medium cage Ultegra on another bike. I think a maximum size of 30T for the rear cassette is possible with this length of rear derailleur. You'd need a "long" rear derailleur to use anything beyond 30T. (On a second bike, I have a SRAM setup with a SRAM long cage derailleur and it works great.)

I cannot speak to your specific bike but my wheel dropped in and rides perfectly. All I did was switch out the cassette - no extra spacers - it rolled true right out of the box.

It may, when I went to take my old cassette it barely fit, by that I mean a few light taps with a hammer and it was ready to turn. Most you can do is order it and hope for the best, I still have mine, though I may not really use it, but it's nice to have around.

it's a front derailleur... not a rear. that said, I bought this and use it with my 1997 Specialized stumpjumper which has an 8 speed cassette. works great.

You can always fit a cassette on a hub that excepts larger just have to have the correct spacer and i believe the 8 cassete comes with it.

Yes, no problem to use your 8 speed cassette. it will fit right on. thanks, ben

You will not need a new chain if the number of sprockets in the cassette remain the same, across the 11-23 and 11-28That is; if your 11-23 has 10 sprockets or is for a 10 speed, and the 11-28 also has 10 sprockets then there is no need to change the chain. The rear derailleur will compensate.

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

I it's a 10 speed chain, it will work. To be sure you can count the links on your present chain and compare that number to the links on the new chain. If you have too many links you can always remove some. But yes, a ten speed chain will work with that cassette.

They appear identical. I used mine to install the cassette. If you want to install or remove a cassette this should work. If your removing a cassette you also need a chain whip tool.

7-8 speed refers to the rear gears on the cassette. That's what really matters here. If the back has 7 or 8 gears, it will work. They come up with 18/21/24 by multiplying the number of front gears (usually 3) by the number of back gears. 3 x 7 = 21 or 3 x 8 = 24. Frankly, I don't know how they come up with 18, because that would be a 6 speed rear.
