|   cogs interchangable? | toad
Oct 11, 2001 7:34 AM | | I have ordered a PERFORMANCE 8spd rear cassette. The size is 12-32. I happen to have a 11t Shimano cog (almost new) and lock ring in my "parts box" that I was thinking about putting on instead of the 12t cog that comes with the new cassette. Does anyone know if this will work? PERFORMANCE claims the cassette is compatable with Shimano but I'm pretty sure this only means that the shifters and chain are compatable. What do you think? |

| will work fine, but 11-14t jump kinda big | club
Oct 12, 2001 5:55 AM | | if you can scare up loose 13 and 15t cogs, use them to replace the 14 and 16t ones, so you get closer jumps: 11/13/15/18....That's what I do, although lately I've just use the 12 and pedaled faster. |
