SHIMANO CS-HG50 // 10-fach Kassette (11-36 Zähne)

Product Information

SRAM’s eTap AXS XPLR groupsets are designed specifically for gravel riding. SRAM XPLR cassettes have a range of 10-44 and require their own compatible rear derailleur. It is also possible to mix and match drop bar shifters with mountain bike Eagle eTap AXS components if you want an especially wide-range 1x build. SRAM dubs this a ‘mullet’ setup. It's also worth mentioning the dedicated cyclo-cross chainsets which have reduced chainring sizes (Shimano's FC-CX50 offers 46, 36 chainrings). I agree on the lever front in general, but it's less straightforward in cycling, as the longer the lever, or crankarm, the higher your knee comes up, which makes it harder at the top of the power phase to push down. Like a deep versus less-deep squat, sort of!

we need to be clear what we mean when we write 'gears': do we mean cog and chainring teeth (11-12-13 &c and 52-39 &c)? Cog & chainring combinations (52x13)? 11sp vs 10sp? Gear sequence (1st to 22nd)? Gear relationship (higher/lower; highest/lowest)? Cog number on cassette (1-11)? Gear ratios (1:1, 2.74:1)? Gear inches (30–135")? Metres development (4.56)? 'Gain'? Speed at rpm? Or the whole system (derailleurs, chain, cassette, [internal hub] chainrings)? I'd also mention that there are sub-compact set ups that use mountain bike sized chainrings and touring chainsets (some very high end, like the TA Carmina and Middleburn X-type) and even Shimano's mountain bike chainsets. At the budget end, the Stronglight Impact chainsets offer doubles and triples with very useful combinations of chainrings.I currently run a full ultegra 6700 groupset with a 105 5700 short cage rear derailleur on my Planet X Nanolight. I have an 11-34 cassette with a 50-33 frankest. The 33 inner is a TA Specialities item and the 50 ring is a Strong light CT2. My frame has very short chainstays and everything shifts superbly, the Stronglight rings ramps and pins are better than Shimano ! The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. There are new rear derailleurs on the market that are identifiable as being compatible because they have a ‘520% range’ graphic printed on the derailleur cage. SRAM Eagle AXS rear derailleurs are compatible with the new 10-52 cassettes. Please be aware that depending on your specific hub and set up, you may require a spacer for the 11 speed 11-36 cassette to function smoothly. This may be a 0.5mm, 1mm or 1.85mm spacer, available in store.

Upgrade your cycling experience today with the AirBike UK 11 Speed Cassette 11-36T – the perfect choice for cyclists seeking an economical and high-performance alternative to mainstream brands. The AirBike UK 11 Speed Cassette 11-36T is an exceptional and economical alternative to mainstream brands, specifically designed to meet the needs of cyclists looking to repair or upgrade their bike. This high-quality cassette is compatible with both Shimano Cassette 11 Speed and 11 Speed Shimano Cassette systems, as well as Sram. Well, the smallest cog is a 10-tooth, and the largest cog is 52-tooth, which is 520 per cent larger than the 10-tooth cog, thus giving a 520 per cent range. Shimano’s HG freehub design was the most common option for many years. Felix Smith / Immediate MediaBeyond 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. I’m using a 44/30 chainset hence the need for a 10-up cassette. 48 x 9 would be a pointlessly high gear. Even with 650b wheels you’ll be over-geared. Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, Shimano, for example, uses a system it calls Hyperglide, which is engineered to provide smooth shifting. Its latest cassettes have a newer system called Hyperglide+, which Shimano says reduces shifting time by up to a third relative to Hyperglide, and improves shifting performance under power, up and down the cassette.

Now that 12-speed road bike groupsets exist, cassettes can have a larger range and the jumps between each gear can be relatively small.It's not really worth considering changing your gearing until you understand what it is you want to achieve. A lower gear by changing the cassette or chainset/chainrings might come at the expense of bigger gaps between gears or a lot of repeated gears, or lots of cross-chaining to achieve the right ratios.
