DR ◣◢ Posted December 17, 2020 Share 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) I like learning new things.

MORNE Posted December 17, 2020 Share 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 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.

DieselnDust Posted December 17, 2020 Share I like learning new things. The term doesn't really apply any longer since we can't change any of the individual sprockets any longer even though some are still mounted freely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted December 17, 2020 Share Also, tyres vs tires are both acceptable depending on which side of the Atlantic ocean you find yourself. The ‘Muricans probably think pushing a round rubber thing along makes you too tired so they called a TYRE that instead lol Edited December 17, 2020 by morneS555 DieselnDust and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted December 17, 2020 Share I see the muppets in the classifieds here have all settled on Square Tapped instead of square tapered. In fact a search in the Drivetrain section reveals not a single square taper BB for sale. Many tapped ones though.
