Hi

 

You have to contact 2wheel trading ,my friends also snapped at the same place and looks like a easy part to get machined but we ended up buying a 2nd gx rear derailer

Guys what is going on with cassette prices? (xd drive). I must replace but am not going to give out circa 3500 for a cassette? Any other options available? cheers

I had 11 speed xx1 on my bike, needed to replace and looked at cassette prices a couple of months ago and xx1 was not an option, an x01 cassette was R5k with Gx being +-R3k...

 

I opted to buy off the classifieds seeing that everybody is upgrading to 12 speed,

Well for now i had to buy a new derailleur as well. cant have the bike stand while searching for the part. gonna speak to 2wheel trading next week. I dont even need the whole part just the alu bracket needs to be manufactured. I will let you know if i make any further progress.

I have the bottom 3 sprockets jumping the chain when riding hard on the inner or outer front chain ring. I replaced the chain  this morning and still have the same problem . I removed the cassette and i can see the wear on those 3 sprockets is bad . Should i replace those only ( Shimano ) or  must i buy complete cassette considering the rest of the cassette ( 11 speed ) is still good . 

[DieselnDust]

Where are you going to get just the three sprockets?

[FirstV8]

I have no idea . In my old days of road biking you could build a cluster from the the bottom up deciding what ratios you wanted . So now with the NEW AGE of Cassettes i would imagine even a greater variety of rations exists especially as you remove a cluster sorry cassette it comes apart in sections it must surely be possible . I have never replaced a cassette or had this particular problem with it skipping on only the last bottom 3 sprockets . I inspected them today and they do seem worn more than the next lot of sprockets . I obviously ride my bottom 3 more than the rest . i am most probably going to have change the whole cassette . What a waste to have 22 rations and i only use 6 .  . Pics of my choice  of cluster 13 /18 and the different sprockets on could build with . back in the 80s .

Those sprockets are unfortunately not available separately anylonger. Best to try and find a 2nd hand unit for the sprockets or get a new complete cassette
