splat Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 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) There is a guy selling screw on blocks https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/vintage-components/438332/screw-on-blocks

Jewbacca Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Yoh... This thread is just bike snob whingery at it's finest and one of the reasons 75% of the site users don't dare venture onto the forums for fear of being ridiculed by the Hub Velominati....
DR ◣◢ Posted December 17, 2020 Author Posted December 17, 2020 when people use apposed instead of opposed... I blame afrikaans for that.
