Wannabe Posted October 26, 2021 Share I have fairly new Sunrace 11-46 cassette on which one of the rivets that keeps the 46 tooth sprocket connected to the rest of the cassette, has fallen out. The cassette was replaced under warranty, but I was wondering if there was a way to replace this rivet, to make the cassette usable again. Any ideas out there?

DieselnDust Posted October 26, 2021 Share the 2nd largest sprocket looks bent downward i.e. it is now biopace so worth saving the extra 35brazillion watts its fubar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, this cassette was replaced at least 3 years back, and this was the first and last time I've ever heard of, or seen a failure like this. Supplier replaced it without a hassle, and as you can see, I've still got the failed one in my possession. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missing rivet keeps it in place. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted October 26, 2021 Share Why not just use a Pop rivet? I mean at the end of the day you don't have much to loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just worried it might not have the necessary tensile strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a broken spoke or two as the rivet jams in the wheel (is how I experienced it when the original rivet came loose)???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
