Collection: Cassettes & Freewheels

cassettes

Cassettes are the rear gears on modern bikes (post-1988). We carry both 8-speed and 9-speed Shimano cassettes with long-wearing steel cogs, but for complete bike builds, can get 10 and 11 speeders, too.

To install and remove, you need skills and tools. When we assemble your bike, we do that for you.

Here's a gear inch calculator chart for those that think in gear inches

If you are an established manufacture -- custom or high volume, but not just a curious hobbyist -- don't hesitate to ask, because we are happy to help. grant@rivbike.com
