The individual sprockets on a Hyperglide cassette or freewheel are designed specifically to work with their neighbours. [3] For example, the 18-tooth sprocket on a wide-range cassette (such as one for a mountain bike) will have a different ramp pattern than the 18-tooth sprocket on a narrow-range cassette, because the number of teeth on the neighbouring sprocket requires a different ramp ...
For Shimano and SRAM the cassette spacing developed as follows. Early Shimano 7-speed cassettes are 36 mm wide, with sprocket spacing of 3.65 mm, but levers and rear derailleurs are not compatible with later Shimano 7-speed cassettes, which are 38 mm wide and have 3.2 mm sprocket spacing. An 8-speed cassette is wider at 41.5 mm than a second ...
A single-speed bicycle is a type of bicycle with a single gear ratio and a freewheel mechanism. These bicycles are without derailleur gears, hub gearing or other methods for varying the gear ratio of the bicycle. Adult single-speed bicycles typically have a gear ratio of between 55 and 75 gear inches, depending on the rider and the anticipated ...
Chainrings (also called "chain rings", [11] "chainwheels" or "sprockets", although sprocket is used this way mostly in the BMX community [3]) engage the chain to transfer power to the (usually rear) wheel. They usually have teeth spaced to engage every link of the chain as it passes over; however, in the past, some designs (called skip-tooth or ...

The Shimano 10 pitch system is incompatible with ANSI standard #40 (1/2″) e.g. chains, sprockets and so on, [ 15 ] [ 16 ] and was outlawed by the ...
