Shimano Tiagra 4700 10 Speed Cassette Cycling Equipment

Product Information

IRD has many combinations that are different from Shimano's. Some combinations are rather nice, and others have some uneven steps. The very latest versions of Shimano's Ultegra and 105 GS rear derailleurs will actually handle an 11-40 cassette, which opens up a range of possibilities for gravel bikes, touring bikes, and any other situation where you're not in a hurry. SRAM eTap AXS rear derailleurs can take up to a 33t for road, and this is denoted by the ‘Max 33t’ written on the inside of the derailleur cage. There is also a ‘Max 36t’ option to pair with the 10-36 cassette, as well as an XPLR rear derailleur, which can take up to a 44t. At the top of a mountain not so far from home, there is a beautiful willow tree. I like to take a break under its shadow when I cycle, after going all the way up. It creaks and sways along with the wind. It's a relaxing, quite zen experience. Then think about your typical speeds while climbing on the steep sections. You need a gear that will allow you to spin at a least 60 rpm and still keep those speeds.

The 11-34 cassette is heftier than the 11-30 cassette. The 11-34, although it has the same 11 number of cogs as the 11-30, the cogs are of different sizes. However, as groupset manufacturers have jumped onto the gravel bandwagon, there are now gravel-specific gearing options available on the market.You may be on a racing team which needs to have all the bicycles equipped the same, for easy parts interchangeability and to match pedaling cadences. Shimano only goes to 11-34 with its 105 components, but there are reports of people getting SRAM 11-36 cassettes to work in Shimano systems. But it is important to know that regardless of the type or brand, the 11-34 cassette weighs more than the 11-30 cassette. Which Cassette is Good for Climbing: 11-30 or 11-34? Unless you’re running a triple crankset, it’s unlikely you’ll want to use a road bike cassette on a mountain bike. Dave Caudery / Immediate Media You only need to remove the spacer to work on a 10-speed freehub body. This fact is an advantage of the 11-34 cassette.

The most common system is the Shimano 11-speed HG-style freehub, which has 9 splines. Most Shimano groupsets up to the 11-speed era used this style of freehub. SRAM groupsets prior to the current generation of 12-speed groupsets also used the same freehub design, although there are a handful of exceptions with the larger cassette ratios on their 1×11 groupsets. Only you can know exactly what gear that should be. If you can find a gear ratio tool that displays speeds for a given gear, wheel size and rpm. This one seems pretty good. In case you're not sure whether your bike has a cassette Freehub or a thread-on freewheel, we have a separate illustrated article explaining how to tell them apart. Our cassettes are manufactured with fine tolerances, therefore if you do not change your chain, there is a chance issues may arise such as shifting and noise. Tech Tip: This cassette is compatible with all Shimano 11-speed road derailleurs. However, you should choose the same tooth count as your existing cassette or confirm the maximum cassette capacity for your derailleur before choosing)The 11-34 weighs 339g, while the 11-30 weighs 271g. However, this weight is just the average because the 11-30 and 11-34 cassettes come in different sizes. SRAM uses some of the same series identifiers for both "road" and "MTB" cassettes. So, if you see a cassette in the list below but don't find it in SRAM's Road listing, look in the MTB listing.

Lots of cars, smells like exhaust," I say, "besides, I like the climb here, the view is fantastic, carrying the weight up only means I get to watch the view a bit longer. I like this place. In fact," I pointed down to the other side of the mountain, "I'm early, so I'm gonna go down there in this other valley, then up here." As of this writing, Harris Cyclery does not sell IRD cassettes, but they are included here for the sake of completeness -- John Allen.

Going for a triple chainset

Beyond weight, there’s not much difference in performance between a Dura-Ace 11-28 cassette and one from a Shimano Ultegra or a Shimano 105 groupset, so you can save yourself considerable expense by down-speccing.
