Are all 12 speed cassettes compatible?
Are all 12 speed cassettes compatible?
As it relates to the freehub, there is no compatibility difference between 11 and 12 speed Sram cassettes.
Can I use a Shimano cassette with Campagnolo?
Yes. Campagnolo wheels are compatible with both Shimano and SRAM components. In order to use Campagnolo wheels with any drivetrain on the market, Campagnolo produces two kinds of freewheel bodies: one specific for Campagnolo drivetrains (from 9 to 11 speeds) and one for non-Campagnolo drivetrains (from 9 to 11 speeds).
Will a 12 speed cassette fit a 9 speed hub?
12-speed cassettes used to be just limited to wheels with XD drivers on the back, but now you can use a 12-speed cassette on any mountain bike wheel with the SunRace MZ90 12-speed 11-50T cassette. It will fit any Shimano or SRAM 8, 9, or 10-speed freehub body, and Shimano Dynasys 11-speed mountain freehub bodies.
Are 11 speed and 12 speed compatibility?
Condensed answer: A 12-speed chain can work with an 11-speed cassette. However, it’s recommended to avoid using a Shimano 12-speed chain because it doesn’t play well with 11-speed chainrings.
Are SRAM and Shimano 12 speed cassettes interchangeable?
Technically, a SRAM cassette can work with a 12-speed Shimano chain. However, the combination doesn’t provide the benefits offered by Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrains. 12-speed Shimano chains and cassettes are designed to work in conjunction to optimize shifting under load.
How do I upgrade my mountain bike cassette?
Quick Recap
- Inspect your current cassette specifications.
- Check your freehub body for speed support.
- Buy your desired cassette.
- Change the chain and shifter if you upgraded to more speeds.
- Use a derailleur extender or wide cage derailleur when increasing the ratio.
- Buy a taller chain or add some links to the old one.
Can I use a 12 speed derailleur on a 10 speed cassette?
-chains have the same outer dimension, the 12 speed derailleur would have narrower cogs than what required for a 10 speed. -As long as you can set the high/low limits on the derailleur to keep it on the cassette it should be fine.
Are Shimano 11 and 12 speed compatibility?
Since 11-speed wheels for MTB are the same standard as 11-speed wheels for road use, it is possible to install 12-speed sprockets for road use, but since they are not officially compatible with Shimano, it is not clear if they will work correctly with MTB drivetrains.
