An 11-speed cassette will fit on a 9-speed hub only when the hub is wide enough. Luckily, 8,9,10 and 11-speed mountain bike hubs have the same spacing, and one can therefore use an 11-speed cassette on all of them.

Will 11 speed cassette fit my hub?

11-speed MTB cassettes can be installed on an 8-speed MTB or road hub. 2. An 11-speed road cassette cannot be installed on an 8-speed hub. The hub is too narrow and creates rubbing between the chain and the spokes when riding in the smallest gear.

Can you put 11 speed cassette on any bike?

Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they're at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.

Will a 9 speed hub take a 10 speed cassette?

Interestingly, the reverse is not always true; you cannot use a 9 speed cassette on all 10 speed hubs. Shimano's 10 speed specific hubs are only designed to be compatible with 10 speed cassettes and, as with most computer programs, downward compatibility does not work as well as upward.

Will a 12 speed cassette fit a 9 speed hub?

It is a wide ratio cassette that has an alloy spider, lockring, and spacer. It will fit any Shimano or SRAM 8, 9, or 10-speed freehub body, and Shimano Dynasys 11-speed mountain freehub bodies.

Can I convert my 9-speed to 11 speed?

Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed

You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.

Can a 9-speed be converted to 12 speed?

Not only are the nine-speed components rated to be more durable and have fewer teeth for saving weight, this also gives a rider the same gear ratio range he can get with a 12-speed. The kicker is that you must use a Prime 9 chain for this application, but any 10-,11- or 12-speed wide/narrow chainring is compatible.

Are 9 and 10 speed hubs the same?

Тhe difference in terms of thickness between a 9-speed and 10-speed MTB cassette is 0.7mm (37.2mm-36.5mm). This isn't substantial enough to make a 9-speed incompatible with a 10-speed hub. The 9-speed cassette is narrower, but its smallest cog is still at the sweet spot – ever so slightly taller than the freehub body.

Are 9 speed and 10 speed cassettes the same width?

they are the same width. The distance between the 9 speed gears is ever so slightly wider than on a 10 speed cassette (hence why 10 speed chains need thinner side plates than 9 speed ones.

Which is better 9 speed or 10 speed?

Depending on what manufacturer you go for, 10 speed is usally only one more speed than a 9 speed, and not even so because your gear ratio don't change much. Ten speeds are harder to deal with in setting up because they tend to be more finicky.

Are all 11 speed cassettes compatible?

When SRAM entered the road groupset market in 2006, it decided to adopt Shimano's specifications for its chains and cassettes. As a result, the chains and cassettes from the two brands have always been completely interchangeable for any given type of transmission (e.g. 11-speed).

Can I upgrade my bike cassette?

Of course yes, anyone can change a bike cassette by himself, it's not hard bike mechanics, you need specific tools for the process, but if you're not sure or you don't have the tools at the moment, it's always better to give it to a professional bike mechanic for a quick change.

Can I put a 12 speed cassette on 11 speed hub?

The 12-speed cassette is designed to be backwards compatible with the existing 11-speed road freehub, while the 12 speed-specific freehub (available on Dura Ace hubs currently) can't be used with the 11-speed parts. Sram HG-style cassettes are largely the same spacing as Shimano, with the 10 speed exception.

Do all cassettes fit all hubs?

Most cassette hubs are compatible with Shimano cassette cogs. SRAM cassettes and most Miche, IRD and SunRace cassettes use the same inter-sprocket spacing as Shimano, but at least some SRAM 10-speed cassettes do not fit aluminum-body Dura-Ace hubs.

Will a 9 speed cassette fit a 8 speed hub?

8-speed Campagnolo cassettes will not fit on newer "9-speed" and "10-speed" hubs. 9- and 10-speed Campagnolo cassettes will not fit on 8-speed hubs.

Which is longer 10-speed or 9 speed chain?

The internal/roller width of 9 and 10-speed chains is the same – 2.18mm. The only difference is the spacing of the chainrings. 9 and 10-speed chainrings aren't spaced the same way, but the differences aren't humongous.

How wide is an 11 speed cassette?

Chains for 11-speed systems are around 5.4mm wide on the outside, vs. around 5.9mm wide for 10-speed ones, so that's 0.25mm narrower from the center of the cog tooth to the end of the chain pin on each side. That's not enough to likely even be noticeable in any difference in how it passes through the jockey wheel cage.

How wide is a 9 speed cassette?

Depending on what you need, you may want to consider researching the specific cassette you plan to buy as the values might vary slightly. To give you some idea of the measurements of different bike components, here are some estimates: For Spacer Width: 8 Speed (3.00mm), 9 Speed (2.56mm)

Can I upgrade Shimano 11 speed to 12-speed?

Unfortunately no, there is not. As I've mentioned above, 11-speed Di2 components need a firmware update to make them work with 12-speed Di2.

Can you fit a 12-speed cassette on a 10 speed hub?

In addition to being able to fit our 12-speed cassettes on Shimano HG 10 and 11 speed freehubs, you can also convert the ROTOR 13-speed cassette into a 12-speed one and use it with your current wheels.

What freehub does SRAM NX use?

The NX cassette uses Shimano's HyperGlide (HG) freehub body instead of SRAM's XD Driver found on the rest of the brand's 12-speed cassettes. This means the cassette's range is only 11-50t compared to 10-52t for the more expensive XD versions.

Can I use a 12 speed crankset with 11 speed?

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.

Can AXS do 11 speed?

New Red and Force AXS shifters will now work with 11-speed eTap derailleurs.

What is the difference between 11 speed and 12 speed cassette?

Since the 12-speed cassette has the same total width as the 11-speed, the space between cogs is narrower. This leads to “faster” shifting since the derailleur doesn't need to move as far to switch gears. Obviously, this is all dependent on cadence, and a higher cadence will maximize the advantage.
