Will an 11 speed cassette fit on an 8-speed hub?

Will an 11 speed cassette fit on an 8-speed hub?

Condensed answer: An 8-speed MTB hub is wide enough to accept an 11-speed MTB cassette. An 8-speed Road hub, however, is too narrow for an 11-speed Road cassette. If you have an 8-speed road bike and want to convert it to 11 speeds, you will have to replace the hub with an 11-speed one.

Are all Shimano 8-speed cassettes the same?

In some cases, it is possible to run a cassette from a different brand than the rest of your drivetrain. SRAM and Shimano cassettes, on either road or mountain bike, are interchangeable with each other as the spacing is the same between the sprockets.

Can I replace an 8-speed cassette with a 10 speed cassette?

Yes, it will fit fine. 8,9,10spd freehubs are the same. If it’s road you’re talking about then you’ll need a 1mm spacer behind the cassette if it’s Shimano, if it’s MTB then it’ll go straight on.

How many teeth does an 8-speed cassette have?

The Shimano cassette goes from 32 teeth to 28 teeth in second. THIRD gear on the Shimano cassette is 24 teeth compared to 23 on the SRAM.

Can I change my 8 speed to a 11 speed?

Converting an 8-speed wheel to 11-speed You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel.

Can you fit an 11 speed cassette?

To upgrade a bicycle to an 11-speed components group requires your existing rear wheel to accept the 11-speed cassette. It can look like it’s permanently built into the hub, but on most wheels it’s replaceable should it wear out or should you want to upgrade to more gears. This was the case with both my friends.

Is all Shimano 8 speed compatible?

Most Shimano-compatible freewheel bodies accept 8-speed cassettes.. Note the following exceptions: Aluminum 10-speed freehub bodies with taller splines work only with 10-speed sprockets. The wider 8-speed cassette does not fit on the narrower 7-speed body.

How do I convert 8 speed to 11 speed?

Can I use any 8 speed cassette?

Can I use a 10 speed crankset with a 8 speed cassette?

First, to answer the question asked: you can use them physically, but the shifting performance will suffer. Second, there is no limitation on the wheel, for a campy 8 speed hub. Put a 10 speed campy group on the bike. 8/9/10 speed are all the same, unless you truly have a freewheel, as opposed to a cassette.

Can you use a 10 speed derailleur on a 8 speed cassette?

A 10-speed derailleur can work with an 8-speed cassette only in one situation – if it’s a road model designed by Shimano and not part of the Tiagra 4700 series. Why? Because the rear shift ratio of Shimano’s 10-speed road derailleurs is 1.7 and matches that of 8 and 9-speed Shimano derailleurs.

Is there an 8 speed replacement cassette for the cs-hg31?

Options for 8 speed replacement cassettes in the 11 x 28/30/32 tooth range will continue to dwindle.
