Does anyone know if this works for shimano cs-hg70-9 cassette? Been looking around and can't find an answer thanks in advance

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.

If your documentation says to use Shimano tool TL-LR15, this should work fine. Note that there's some indication on the forums of quality issues some time ago (3 years I think) where the tolerances weren't very good. No guarantee that there isn't bad stock floating out there -- don't be shy about returning it if you get a bad one.

Currently in using with a 7 speed. It works like a charm. Easy to install. I would imagine you can use the 8 speed cassette in combination with no issue. Hope this helps

NO! Absolutely not! This is a SRAM 1:1 pull ratio shifter that works with SRAM 1:1 ratio rear derailleurs NOT SHIMANO!!!!! It will work with a SRAM rear derailleur & a shimano cassette but NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Period.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

Well, they are two different companys. I think you're taking a chance, but if Shimano doesn't make a similer product, it might be a chance worth taking. Otherwise, buy and use a chain link designed for a Shimano chain. Good luck

According to the package it will work on 7 and 8 speed derailleur chains. It does not differentiate between companies. I carry it but haven't had to use it yet

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

I currently have this on my 8-speed bike with no problems. I purchased this along with an 8-speed chain and an 8-speed cassette (chain and cassette were made by SRAM). I'm very satisfied with it.

My sense is yes. The bike I put this on is a 9 speed but I have a 9 speed LX crank with an 8 speed cassette on another bike.I am using a Shram 951 chain on both.Hope this helps.Chris

NO! No, it will not work. The SRAM shifters only work with SRAM rear derailieurs, because the ratio is 1:1 vs Shimano 2:1. The front derailieurs for both systems are interchangeable as they use the same ratio.

Yes I have a 90's Peugeot with stock black paint and orange, yellow,stripes Shimano works smoothly. If your bike came with the nylon rear derailliar it could snap in half, if hasn't allready happened, it will weaken over time , and then one day? I converted to one chain wheel on the crank, went from 12 to 6 speed, left the rear freewheel 6 cog in place, and do not have duplicated gear ratios. Removed useless shifter setup for front mess and gained functional simplicity

Hi. It should. This is for the 6-7-8 speed HG50 7.3 mm chain. I had bought this for 8 speed applications but Shimano gears and spacing for this group is almost identical or the same so the same chain is used for all. I have found the specs given by KMC quick links to be accurate for both Shimano and Campagnolo BUT read carefully what you are actually getting before buying.

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.

i think it will not work with the 8 speed cassette. its better if you buy an specific for 8 speed

chris, i bought a Shimano HG51 8-Speed Cassette (11-28T)--just fits my frame. it has presta size valve holes. be sure to measure your rear spacing before putting on too many gears; i believe its has the std 130mm spacing. the tires were Vittoria Zaffiro II Wire (Black, 700 x 23). great wheelset for the money!!

Howdy... all rear derailleurs need a hanger. You can buy bolt-on hangers if you don't already have one on your frame. Inespensive, but likly to break if you do a lot of rough riding. I'm not sure but I think this one will only accomodate up to about a 37 tooth chain ring. Check on Shimano's site though. My own rear cassettes only fo up to either 37 or 39 teeth.

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).
