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 upgrade my bike to 10 speed?
Yes, in most cases this upgrade is possible, without the need for replacing the rear-wheel hub body, you only need to change the chain, shifter and readjust your rear-derailleur, when upgrading to a super big ratio cassette, you may need to change the rear-derailleur completely to a new one with a wider cage in order ...
Can I convert my 9 speed to 11 speed?
Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed
You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.
Are Shimano 9 and 10 speed compatibility?
The 9 speed shadow(Shimano mtn) rear derailleur will work fine with road 10 speed shifters.
Can I put a 10 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub?

36 related questions foundCan I use a 10 speed derailleur on a 9 speed shifter?
Condensed Answer: 10-speed Shimano and SRAM MTB derailleurs have a different rear shift ratio than 9-speed derailleurs and cannot be effectively combined with a 9-speed shifter and cassette.
Can a 9 speed be converted to 12 speed?
Not only are the nine-speed components rated to be more durable and have fewer teeth for saving weight, this also gives a rider the same gear ratio range he can get with a 12-speed. The kicker is that you must use a Prime 9 chain for this application, but any 10-,11- or 12-speed wide/narrow chainring is compatible.
Can you use 9 speed shifter with 11 speed cassette?
9 speed (or8,7,6) MTB mechs won't work with 10 or 11 speed shifters.
Can I use a 9 speed derailleur on a 11 speed cassette?
No, an 11 speed road shifter has a different pull ratio than an 8, 9 or 10 speed. Any 8, 9 or 10 speed road shifter will work with any 8, 9 or 10 speed road rear derailleur (unless it's Tiagra 4700). However, the 11 speed road system pulls more cable per shift and therefore is not backwards compatible.
Are 9 and 10 speed cassettes the same width?
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?
Depending on what manufacturer you go for, 10 speed is usally only one more speed than a 9 speed, and not even so because your gear ratio don't change much. Ten speeds are harder to deal with in setting up because they tend to be more finicky.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 9 speed hub road bike?
An 11-speed cassette will fit on a 9-speed hub only when the hub is wide enough. Luckily, 8,9,10 and 11-speed mountain bike hubs have the same spacing, and one can therefore use an 11-speed cassette on all of them.
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.
Is there a 10 speed freewheel?
Hi-Tensile Steel sprockets gold anodised alloy spacers. Designed initially for E-bikes this frewheel may give your old bike that needed upgrade. Shimano and SRAM index compatible.
Can a 10 speed derailleur work on a 11-speed cassette?
10-speed rear derailleurs do not work accurately with 11-speed cassettes when coupled with index shifters. The only exception are SRAM's 10-speed exact actuation road derailleurs which have the same rear shift ratio as SRAM's 11-speed road (exact actuation) and 10-speed MTB (exact actuation) derailleurs.
Can you use a 10 speed derailleur on a 12 speed cassette?
-10 speed shifter sets your throw to match the rear 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.
Can a 9 speed hub fit at 12 speed cassette?
It will fit any Shimano or SRAM 8, 9, or 10-speed freehub body, and Shimano Dynasys 11-speed mountain freehub bodies.
Can I upgrade Shimano 11 speed to 12 speed?
Unfortunately no, there is not. As I've mentioned above, 11-speed Di2 components need a firmware update to make them work with 12-speed Di2.
Can you put a 12 speed cassette on a 11 speed hub?
The 12-speed cassette is designed to be backwards compatible with the existing 11-speed road freehub, while the 12 speed-specific freehub (available on Dura Ace hubs currently) can't be used with the 11-speed parts. Sram HG-style cassettes are largely the same spacing as Shimano, with the 10 speed exception.
Can a 10 speed derailleur work on a 8 speed cassette?
You will need a 10 spd rear derailleur to work with a 10 spd cassette, because the spacing is smaller with a 10 spd setup. You will need a 10 speed chain for a 10 speed setup, a 9 speed chain for a 9 speed setup and any 8 speed chain will work on 8-7-6 speed or lower.
Does rear derailleur speed matter?
It is appropriate that you run a derailleur that is compatible with the speed (number) of gears on your cassette (normally 9, 10 or 11 speed).
Can you convert a 10 speed bike to 11 speed?
Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they're at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.
Do I need a 10 speed bike?
If you're a very fit and active cyclist, the 10-speed is the obvious choice. Ten-speed bicycles give you a better range of gears for tackling tough climbs, fast hill sections, and long stretches of open road.
What's the difference between a 9 and 10 speed chain?
The main difference between a 9 speed chain and a 10 speed chain is that the 10 speed chain is thinner in width, because of the 10 speed cassette, which in turn means the chain is lighter.
