Are there 6-speed cassettes?
Old Uniglide 6-speed cassettes have larger spacing between sprockets, and like older freewheels, have the same shifting issues. 10-speed sprocket teeth are narrower, to cram in one more sprocket. As a result, 10 speed sprockets do not wear as long.
Can you put a 7 speed cassette on a 6-speed bike?
Not only bar-end shifters, but my 7-speed Ultegra downtube shifters have the same insert. It works fine on a 6-speed freewheel.
Can I use a 7 speed derailleur on a 6-speed cassette?
Shimano derailleurs marketed as 7, 8, 9 speed (and in addition, 10 speed road), can be interchanged in any of those speed drivetrains.
Can I put a 8 speed cassette on a 7 speed bike?
“Any 7-speed Shimano Hyperglide Freehub will actually work with 8 or 9 sprockets, without any modification! What you need to do is to use 8 of the sprockets from a 9-speed cassette, with the 9-speed spacers — or 9 of the sprockets from a 10-speed cassette.
Can you put any cassette on a bike?
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 use 6 speed chain on 8 speed cassette?
6-speed chains are wider than 8-speed chains. You might get noise and ghost shifting. Or it might be fine. If it’s your old chain, I wouldn’t use it on a new cog set because it’ll likely accelerate the wear on the new cogs.
