Shimano Tiagra 4700 10 Speed Cassette Cycling Equipment

Product Information

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. Cassettes listed below will fit most Shimano and Shimano-compatible Freehub bodies, with the following exceptions: 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 ! Grayed-out rows in the table below indicate cassettes not listed in the 2015 new-products listing or 2016-2017 catalog. SunRace appears at this time to be specializing in MTB cassettes, at least among the 10-speeds. That is why a pro with an 11-30 may be faster than another with an 11-34 cassette. It depends on their skills and how they can make do with their cassette choices.

On the mountain bike side, Shimano uses its Microspline freehub standard for its 12-speed Deore, SLX, XT and XTR groupsets. Shimano’s HG freehub design was the most common option for many years. Felix Smith / Immediate Media

Cassette compatibility explained

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.

You will need a long-cage derailleur if you want to use an 11-34t cassette on a road bike. Simon Bromley / Immediate Media The cage of a rear derailleur is designed for a certain range of gears. For example, Shimano’s outgoing Dura-Ace R9100-SS rear derailleur is designed for use up to an 11-30 cassette.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. 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. Whereas the 11-30 cassette is very comfortable and easy to ride, the 11-34 is more complex due to the switch in gears from 30 to 34.

t is a good cassette choice, not just a road bike cassette but also good for climbing areas. Main Difference between 11-30 and 11-34 Cassette It is also good for climbing, but the 11-34 is much preferable. The 11-34 is a good option because it will give you the easiest gear, which makes pedaling easier and thus, aids your climbing.

GET IN TOUCH

However, as groupset manufacturers have jumped onto the gravel bandwagon, there are now gravel-specific gearing options available on the market. SunRace does not give tooth counts in the 2016-2017 catalog but there are tooth counts in the earlier catalogs. SunRace listed a 12-32 10-speed cassette in the 2013-2014 catalog but did not give tooth counts for it.
