11-40T Cassette on my gravel bike, some common questions answered.
Просмотров 23 тыс.3 года назад
I have a Trek Checkpoint gravel bike that I installed an 11-40T cassette on. I am running a Shimano 105 groupset on the bike and Shimano's spec says no bigger than an 11-34T cassette will work. I posted a previous video on the installation of this cassette and this video will be answering some of the common questions that I get asked.

    actually you can go to a 38 without a link if it's GRX, problem with a 40 or 42 is that the B screw does not sit flush with the RD.

    My 105 "decent" road bike has the 50/34 x 11-34 combo with GS mech, I've also got an older Tiagra 4600 specced bike which I'm planning to convert to "mountain" spec- It's 50/34 x 12-36 at the moment but looking into an FSA Tempo 46/30 crankset and an 11-40 cassette as the "old" M592 SGS can take 45T capacity so no issues over slack chain, though for all I'm ever in the highest gear I could just go 11-42 and adjust the high screw so the 13T is the limit.... Bike manufacturers really need to wake up and listen to what the public need, seems every road and gravel bike I see is hideously overgeared never mind carrying any bikepacking kit as an extra!! The folk that are happy with close ratios and 25/28T low gears usually live where it's flat..I'm in the Scottish Highlands and would take lower gears any day than stupid huge downhill gears!!

      You installed an 11/50 cassette or an 11/40 cassette?

    a triple chain ring on the front does the same thing-easier to adjust

      You got a lot more gear duplication / crossover with a triple chainset

    Thanks for this and the previous installation video. I have a 2020 SL5 checkpoint with the RD7000 GS derailleur and I changed my 11-34 spd 105 cassette for a Shimano SLX 11 spd 11-40 cassette no problem. I wasn't sure about the spacer but my original cassette had a 2 mm spacer behind it and I left it in place for the new one. The 11-40 cassette lined up perfectly with my derailleur, I only needed to adjust the b screw completely inwards to give me 5 mm spacing between the guide pulley and the 40t sprocket (while in the smallest chainring). I can shift to large-large and small-small no problem, though both combos rub the front derailleur. Now I can climb those steep inclines a little easier!
