Cassettes

Velo cassette - Pable set

There bike cassette Designates all the gables used when making a road bike. The cassette is placed on the free wheel body at the rear wheel hub. Its role is to train the rear wheel by recovering the energy deployed by pedaling via the crankset and the chain. The smaller the gable, the greater the development (distance traveled by doing a pedal tour) but the more difficult the effort. We change your gable and therefore development depending on the route and the speed thanks to the rear derailleur. From 7, 8, 9 to 10 speeds we have gone in recent years to cassettes and a fortiori comprehensive groups that go up to 11 speeds!

 

Velo cassette - an important choice

Traditionally, the bicycle cassette of a road bike has a start (smaller gable) of 11 or 12 teeth and from 21, 23, 25 or 28 teeth for the largest gable. The choice of the cassette and therefore of the gables is made according to the route on which we are used to driving and its level. It is obvious that the one who usually makes flat criteria will not choose the same cassette as a follower of long distances in the mountains!

 

Velo cassette - A part to watch

The bicycle cassette, if it is well maintained can last several thousand kms. Wear is characterized by the district of teeth and the appearance of chain jumps despite a rear derailleur well adjusted. It is recommended to change the cassette and the chain at the same time to maintain a fluid transmission and do not use your new cassette or new chain too quickly. You have on Probikeshop.fr all bicycle cleaning products to take care of your transmission as well as the tools to control the wear of your channel. The spacing between the gables of the cassettes is not necessarily exactly the same between the different brands (Campagnolo, Shimano, Sram), be sure to choose a cassette compatible with your transmission to keep its fluidity.
