SHIMANO 105 CS-HG700 11-speed cassette, 11-34T One Size,Silver,ICSHG70011134

Product Information

There is a huge leap on the cogs of the 11-34 cassette, from 30 to 34. Switching from 30 to 34 may seem difficult, especially if you’re not used to it, but with enough practice, you can get used to it. The 11-34 cassette is heftier than the 11-30 cassette. The 11-34, although it has the same 11 number of cogs as the 11-30, the cogs are of different sizes. Proudly designed and hand-finished in the UK, the AirBike UK 11 Speed Cassette 11-34T 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.

Please also note that we highly recommend fitting a new chain with your cassette. This is because chains and cassettes wear sympathetically with each other. You only need to remove the spacer to work on a 10-speed freehub body. This fact is an advantage of the 11-34 cassette.Please be aware that depending on your specific hub and set up, you may require a spacer for the 11 speed 11-34 cassette to function smoothly. This may be a 0.5mm, 1mm or 1.85mm spacer, available in store. However, 11-34 is the best option. And with substantial knowledge of the switch, a pro would be more comfortable using the 11-34 cassette to the 11-30. The 11-30 is a good option as a road bike cassette but not the best for hills or mountains. What Size Cassette Do Pros Use; 11-30 or 11-34?

Both sets of cogs are metallic and made from steel precisely. The last set of cogs, or the largest trio, is in sizes 24, 27, and 30, made of steel with spider aluminum plating.The 11-34 weighs 339g, while the 11-30 weighs 271g. However, this weight is just the average because the 11-30 and 11-34 cassettes come in different sizes.

Knowing when to switch and how to stay balanced during the switch only makes climbing with the 11-34 cassette better. The 11-34 cassette is very good for hiking or mountainous areas, and the large range in the cog sizes makes it easier to ride in such areas.

An 11-30 cassette is a modern-age product with very good features and serves primarily as a road bike cassette. But it is important to know that regardless of the type or brand, the 11-34 cassette weighs more than the 11-30 cassette. Which Cassette is Good for Climbing: 11-30 or 11-34? Tech Tip: This cassette is compatible with all Shimano 11-speed road derailleurs. However, you should choose the same tooth count as your existing cassette or confirm the maximum cassette capacity for your derailleur before choosing)

Having the right cassette size for your bike would benefit you in many ways. Especially if you always want to ride at a particular speed or on off-road terrains like the mountains, hills, or valleys. Using an 11-34 cassette, you will need a long cage derailleur and a long chain to accommodate the cassette’s 34th teeth. 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. That is why if you’re buying the 11-34 cassette to replace an older cassette, you should also buy a chain that will be long enough to carry down to the 34th teeth. 11-30 vs. 11-34 Cassette Weight Please Note: The 11-34T version of this cassette is the “CS-HG800” model as Shimano does not make the CS-R8000 in an 11-34T version. Cassette Ratios:Compared to the 11-30, the 11-34 cassette is better for climbing. This fact does not displace the 11-30 cassette as good for climbing. Other pros also prefer the 11-34 cassette because it is easier to ride, especially on hills, and gives the option of a greater switch for greater speed and more comfort.
