splat Posted December 17, 2020 Share 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 Hairy and Dominik Krob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
