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

Product Information

You may sometimes see brands refer to their cassettes as having a certain range in the form of a percentage.

This shows how far you can push the envelope. I have even run 11-36 using a derailleur hanger extender and nothing suffers except bigger gaps in gears. Longevity of components is not compromised and chain cassette combo is still fresh after 3500 miles. 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)? It's also worth mentioning the dedicated cyclo-cross chainsets which have reduced chainring sizes (Shimano's FC-CX50 offers 46, 36 chainrings).

Terms & Conditions Apply.The only adjustments made were on the b-screw and a 108 link chain instead of 106. This setup means a capacity of 40 :-. 17 front, 23 rear when Shimano states very conservatively 30 !

It would have been uncommon to find a cassette as large as SRAM’s Eagle 10-50 a few years ago. Alex EvansShimano only goes to 11-34 with its 105 components, but there are reports of people getting SRAM 11-36 cassettes to work in Shimano systems. 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.
