Confused about how to figure out which one you need though? The trick is very simple, start counting.
The speed of your bike refers to the number of cogs, so counting the spikey friends will tell you the speed. 7 cogs is 7 speed.
Then there is a teeth ratio. These numbers like 11-42 refer to the number of spikey teeth on the cogs at the ends of the range. You have a tiny 11 tooth cog at the top and a big 42 tooth cog at the top. And again the way to figure out which one you have is to count!
Now unfortunately it isn’t easy to change the speed of your cassette. Like if you were thinking you want a 10 speed to make hills easier. But your bike currently has an 8 speed cassette.
Because your derailleur & your shifter need to be able to ‘reach’ all the cogs in your cassette. So a 6 speed derailleur doesn’t have enough range to reach the top of a 10 speed cassette. It needs a long cage to make the distance to give you all those speeds (or gears).
And the same goes for your shifter, a 6 speed shifter only has 6 positions, not 10.
So if you want to change things up on your bike, get in touch with us and we can tell you what’s possible for your bike.
