Can you use a 11-speed rear derailleur on a 10 speed cassette?
Can An 11-speed Derailleur Work With a 10-speed Cassette and Shifter? Condensed Answer: Shimano’s 11-speed derailleurs have a different rear shift ratio than 10-speed derailleurs and are therefore not compatible with 10-speed indexed shifters.
Will a Shimano 10 speed derailleur work with 11-speed shifter?
No, that will not work. The shifts will not line up across the entire range, because an 11-speed cassette is not just a 10-speed cassette with an extra cog stuck on at the same spacing.
Will any derailleur work with any cassette?
As a general rule of thumb, it’s best not to mix and match drivetrain components from different brands. While things such as cranks, chains and cassettes are mostly inter-compatible between brands, generally speaking, shifters and derailleurs aren’t.
Can I use any rear derailleur on my bike?
No, bike derailleurs are not universal. A derailleur that works with one bike may not work with another bike based on factors such as the cage length. Check the difference between the smallest and largest cogs and also the chainring size to determine the derailleur compatibility.
Are Shimano 10 and 11 speed compatibility?
Shimano’s mechanical 10- and 11-speed road shifters are not compatible with its 10- and 11-speed MTB derailleurs.
Can you use a 12 speed derailleur on 11 speed cassette?
So you can’t use a 12 speed derailleur on an 11 speed setup or vice versa but you can you an xtr 12/11 speed shifter on an 11 speed drivetrain.
Can you put an 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed bike?
You can use the 11 speed wheel with the 10 speed bike, so long as you use a 10 speed cassette and the right spacers. It’s usually cost prohibitive to upgrade from 10 speeds to 11. You need new shifters, new derailleur, new cassette, new chain.
Do I need a new derailleur if I get a bigger cassette?
Derailleur Adjustments
When putting a big cassette, the derailleur jockey wheel it may not be able to be under that big cogs, therefore the shift can’t be made. For that, it requires to use a specific rear derailleur compatible with these big ratios and this can be expensive upgrade.
Are all 10 speed cassettes compatible?
All Shimano and SRAM cassettes up to 10 speed are broadly compatible. They all use Shimano’s Hyperglide II freehub body spline pattern. Cassettes with the same number of sprockets have the same sprocket spacing, sprocket width and overall width.
Will an 11 speed cassette fit on a 10 speed freehub?
Since 11 speed mountain cassettes fit on 8-10 speed freehubs, this HG road freehub is intended for road 11 speed AND 12 speed cassettes. You can, however, run an 8, 9 or 11 speed mountain cassette on these with a 1.85mm spacer. If you want to run your Shimano 10 speed cassette, you can add a 1mm and 1.85mm spacer.
Are 10 speed and 11 speed chains the same?
Not only are they not the same, but the while everyone’s 10 speed chains are compatible, the SRAM 11 speed MTB chain is different than SRAM 11 speed road chains. Shimano 11 speed MTB cassettes can fit on 8/9/10 speed hubs.
Are all 11 speed cassettes compatible?
And, as I’ve said before, there is 100 percent shifting compatibility between 11-speed cassettes. In other words, Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed cassettes work just fine on each others’ drivetrains.
Can I use a 105 cassette with Ultegra?
There’s no reason why you can’t use an Ultegra cassette with an otherwise 105 groupset, or vice versa. With both 105 and Ultegra, the largest sprocket you can officially use is a 34-tooth, although in truth you can go much larger than that; we have gear systems with 11-40 cassettes that work very happily.
Can you use Shimano cassette with Campagnolo derailleur?
In other words, Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed cassettes work just fine on each others’ drivetrains. So, one way to use an old 10-speed wheel with an 11-speed drivetrain is to install a Campagnolo freehub body and Campagnolo 11-speed cassette on it.
Are Shimano road and MTB cassette compatibility?
SRAM and Shimano cassettes, on either road or mountain bike, are interchangeable with each other as the spacing is the same between the sprockets.
Are Shimano 10 and 11 speed cassettes the same width?
No, 11speed mountain cassettes are slightly wider than 10/9/8 speed ones, so newer Shimano free hubs come with a small spacer (only 1 or 2 mm) so they’re still compatible with older drive trains.
Are SunRace cassettes compatible with SRAM?
Are SunRace products compatible with Shimano or Sram? Yes, our products are compatible with Shimano and / or Sram. Our cassettes will fit onto the HyperGlide fitting (for both Shimano and Sram drive trains) or XD (for Sram drive trains).
Can I convert my 10 speed to 11 speed?
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.
