DieselnDust Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Not sure when these became the same thing ... The lower cage is a Jockey pully cage and the wheels are jockey pulley wheels. These are accepted engineering terms. However the whole assembly is a Derailleur so there's that Cluster instead of cassette. Rear cassette... have yet to see one on the front. Back in the day when we were riding 6 sprockets on the back and all were fixed together and the freebody screwed into the hub it the sprockets were call a sprocket set.Then Shimano came up with a system where we could change an individual sprocket to tailor the gear ratios to your own liking it became known as a Sprocket cluster. at the same time the freebody was built into the hub and a 7th sprocket added. So "cluster" became the generic name. This goes back to the mid to late 80's Or BM (before Millennials) stefmeister, TNT1, Hairy and 6 others 9
