what are the cassette gear sizes for the CS-HG50 7-speed 13-34T? (http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-CS-HG5...

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.

I don't know -- but the Alex R450 is compatible with 8-speed Shimano cassettes. I am using it with a 7-speed cassette and a spacer.

This wheel will work,but you will need a 4.5mm spacer for your 7 speed cassette.http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Manufacturing-Cassette-Spacer-Converts/dp/B001CJVLWO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1409095921&sr;=8-1&keywords;=4.5+mm+spacer

Hi Carlos; all the answers are good but I particularlly like Skips answer. I might add, Shimano UN55 is a square taper bottom bracket and the crankset has to be square taper also. Good luck.

yes .you can even use index shifting if you like ----shimano spacing is the same for 6/7/8gears drives cassette or frewheel....... happy rides.

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.

I would not be inclined to try it, the 10 speed chains run best on 10 speed gears, on the "less" gears while I know you can put a 10 speed chain on a 9 speed cassette it is more difficult to maintain / tune as the 10 is a narrower chain so from my experience I would not try it, the KMC is a beautiful chain for the 10 speeds. KMC does make 7/8 speed chains for the thicker gears, but I am not sure they have it in colors the KMC model I think for 7/8 is the Z51 that is set for 6/7/8 speed specifically, I would be inclined to go that way for the KMC chain

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 !

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.)

The XT M770 hub is compatible with 8/9/10 speed cassettes, both Shimano and SRAM. I own the same wheel but using a SRAM PG970 9-Speed cassette.

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).

The shifter I purchased was model TX30-7R for 7-disk free wheels (see photo to left). My shifter has 7 "gears". I imagine Shimano sells a 6 position shifter, too. Was that the model you saw? Mike

Hi,You will need to purchase a 5 speed shifter. Because these are specified as seven speed (rear). A 5 speed shifter will only work with a 5 speed cassette.Thank you.

Yes, this cassette fits splined hubs and not thread style hubs. But, it will only fit seven speed hubs. If the hub is eight or nine speed spacing, you must also install spacers. If you are buying a seven speed, you are probably replacing a seven speed system, and in that case you have nothing to worry about.

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.

The number of speeds of your cassette does not matter. What matters is the bottom bracket spacing which I don't see here.

Freewheels and cassettes are two different and non-compatible gear clusters for the rear hub of derailer bicycles. If you are buying a new gear cluster and are presently using a 7 speed cassette, best to buy a direct replacement cassette gear cluster. If you bought a cassette and found out your hub was older and used freewheels then those are also available. Go to the Sheldon Brown website for a more complete description of both gear systems.
