Yes, as long as you change everything else over to 10 speed as well
. Can’t mix a 9 speed chain or derailleur with a 10 speed cassette; spacing is too narrow. Pre 2011 rear shimano derailleurs are compatible with pre 2011 10 speed shifters like on a road bike.
Can I change my 7-speed cassette to a 10 speed?
Condensed answer:
If you have a 7-speed specific hub, you won’t be able to install a 10-speed cassette on it because the hub will be too short
. If the hub isn’t 7-speed specific, and actually designed for more speeds, you will be able to install a 10-speed cassette on it.
Can you convert an 8-speed bike to 10 speed?
Converting an 8-Speed Wheel to a 10-Speed Wheel
Therefore,
it is possible to convert an 8-speed wheel to a 10-speed wheel by adjusting the height with a commercially available Shimano 1.0mm low spacer on the low side
.
Can I change my bike from 9 speed to 10 speed?
You can put a new 10 or 11 speed cassette on any of the older 9 speed hubs
. So, regardless of brand, feel free to buy your wheels a nicely upgraded new steed.
Can I fit a 10 speed cassette?
This spacer fits between the cassette and freehub body and makes it possible to fit a 10-speed cassette to a 9-speed hub
.
Can you put an 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed bike?
For nearly 20 years, the same Shimano-compatible rear wheel could utilize most any Shimano-standard 8, 9, or 10-speed cassette. However, recently, Shimano introduced 11-speed drivetrains. And, while these components work well,
the new 11-speed cassettes won’t fit on these older 8/9/10-speed rear wheels
.
Is a 10-speed road bike good?
Are 10-speed bikes good?
Yes, 10-speed bikes are good simply because they have a lot of range
. If you’re climbing a mountain, they’re not the best. However, if you’re just climbing a hill, then you’ll be all set with a 10-speed bicycle.
Can I replace an 8-speed cassette with a 10-speed cassette?
Yes, it will fit fine
. 8,9,10spd freehubs are the same. If it’s road you’re talking about then you’ll need a 1mm spacer behind the cassette if it’s Shimano, if it’s MTB then it’ll go straight on.
Can I upgrade 8-speed to 10-speed cassette?
If you’re upgrading from 8 to 10 speeds, the following parts will be required: a 10-speed shifter (unless you plan on using friction shifters that can support a 10-speed cassette) a rear derailleur with extra range or a derailleur hanger extender for your existing derailleur.
Are 9 and 10-speed cassettes interchangeable?
9- and 10-speed cassettes will both fit on the same wheel
. The splines are the same for each. If you run your 10-speed shifters in friction mode (not possible if you’re using STI “brifters” , then you can use either cassette on that system.
Will a 7-speed derailleur work with a 10-speed cassette?
Only 10-speed Shimano Road derailleurs can be effectively combined with a 7-speed Shimano shifter and cassette
because they have a 1.7 rear shift ratio that matches that of 7-speed Shimano derailleurs.
Are 8 and 9-speed cassettes interchangeable?
8 and 9-speed derailleurs have the same rear shift ratio but only when both models are made either by Shimano or SRAM. In consequence,
a 9-speed derailleur can work just fine with an 8-speed cassette produced by the same brand
. If the bicycle uses index shifting, the shifter will have to be designed for 8 speeds too.
Are 9 and 10 speed cassettes the same width?
A 9 speed cassette and a ten speed cassette both fill a freehub body completely. ie.
they are the same width
. The distance between the 9 speed gears is ever so slightly wider than on a 10 speed cassette (hence why 10 speed chains need thinner side plates than 9 speed ones.
Which is better 9 speed or 10 speed?
Basically,
there’s not a whole lot of difference in 9/10 speed equipment
. It’s just different ratios and spacings. As for whether to go 10, it’s the luxury of having 2 more speeds in a double configuration. You and I (recreational riders) probably wouldn’t ever notice the difference.
Are Shimano 9 and 10 speed compatibility?
A 9-Speed Derailleur Can Work With a 10-Speed Cassette Only On Road Bikes
. Luckily, the rear shift ratio of Shimano’s road bike groupsets is the same for 8, 9, and 10-speed transmissions. Hence why it’s possible to combine a 9-speed derailleur with a 10-speed cassette.
What is the difference between a 10 speed and 11 speed cassette?
10 speed stuff is going to be harder and harder to get parts for over time because it’s not the current technology. 2.
Tighter spacing on cassettes AND wider range from top to bottom of cassette
are possible in the same cassette with 11 vs 10. This can make a pretty big difference when climbing.
Are SRAM and Shimano 10 speed cassettes interchangeable?
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.
How do I upgrade my Shimano 10 speed to 11 speed?
Are 10 and 11 speed cassettes interchangeable?
A 10-speed Shimano or SRAM cassette can still be fitted to an 11-speed body, but a spacer will be required to make up for the difference in width
. There is another, more subtle, incompatibility that affects different brands of hubs and wheels, but it will only have an impact on those riders using multiple wheelsets.
Will 12 speed chain work with 10 speed cassette?
-chains have the same outer dimension, the 12 speed derailleur would have narrower cogs than what required for a 10 speed. –
As long as you can set the high/low limits on the derailleur to keep it on the cassette it should be fine
.
How many gears does a 10 speed bike have?
A 10-speed bicycle has a
five-gear cassette
and two chainrings with a chain, and is the most widely adopted multiple-geared bicycle design. This system uses a traditional rear derailleur arm to shift the chain along a cassette in the rear. A front derailleur arm shifts the chain between the two chainrings.
What is a ten speed bike good for?
A 10-speed bike is a type of road bicycle that
allows you to change the pedaling resistance through a shifting mechanism
. The various gears provide up to 10 different resistance settings, or speeds. This type of bicycle engineering makes riding on hilly terrain over long distances easier.
Is an 11 speed bike faster than a 10 speed?
11 speed has one more speed than 10 speed
……you need it.
Are 8 9 10 speed cassettes the same width?
For the Shimano brand, their 9-speed cassettes have an extra cog added to the 8-speed cassette, while
the overall width remains the same
. It has a reduced gap between the gears and as such, it requires a narrower chain. The same thing goes for the 10-speed where it still has the same width as an 8-speed cassette.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on an 8 speed hub?
Condensed answer:
An 8-speed MTB hub is wide enough to accept an 11-speed MTB cassette
. An 8-speed Road hub, however, is too narrow for an 11-speed Road cassette. If you have an 8-speed road bike and want to convert it to 11 speeds, you will have to replace the hub with an 11-speed one.
