SHIMANO Kassette 10-Fach TIAGRA 4700

Product Information

Proudly designed and hand-finished in the UK, the AirBike UK 10 Speed Cassette 11-32T boasts Hyperglide-style shift ramps for smooth and efficient gear changes. This versatile cassette is designed to replace Shimano and Sram HG splined hub cassettes, fitting MTB, Road, Hybrid and Mountain bikes with ease.

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. Where an 11-28 cassette would have once been considered a large training cassette, it now sits at the lower end of the typical range for road. Simon Bromley / Immediate MediaSRAM introduced its XD freehub standard when it started rolling out cassettes with a 10-tooth smallest cog. It recently ported this design over to the road with XDR, which also allows the use of 10-tooth cogs, but is slightly wider than the road bike standard.

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. Where an 11-28 would have been considered an ‘easy’ training cassette a few short years ago, the smallest cassette available for a Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 is an 11-28. That might not sound like much but, when you consider pro riders would typically ride on 11-23 or 11-25 cassettes, it’s a sizeable difference. Although it might seem straightforward, there’s a lot of engineering that goes into a bike cassette. The AirBike UK 10 Speed Cassette 11-32T 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 10 Speed and 10 Speed Shimano Cassette systems, as well as Sram. 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.If you are still using a triple crankset, you may have sufficient overall range with a road cassette, but this is a fairly specialist application these days.

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. 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. You will need a long-cage derailleur if you want to use an 11-34t cassette on a road bike. Simon Bromley / Immediate Media However, as groupset manufacturers have jumped onto the gravel bandwagon, there are now gravel-specific gearing options available on the market. It’s important to note that this figure is only indicative of the range of gears you have on your cassette, and is not the same as working out how far you will travel with your chosen gear ratio.

Cassette Maintenance

For example, at the lower end of the cassette, you can have as little as a one-tooth jump between the early cogs, and still have the range at the easier end. If you were running a 7- or 8-speed system, for example, in the same range, the jumps would be bigger. Upgrade your cycling experience today with the AirBike UK 10 Speed Cassette 11-32T – the perfect choice for cyclists seeking an economical and high-performance alternative to mainstream brands. Shimano wants you to use one of its standard combinations, and offers a wide-enough choice to suit the needs of most cyclists, but you don't have to if you don't want to! 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.
