- Calvin demonstrates how to remove and install cassette cogs and choose the correct lockring tool.
Important note!
There's another cog system called a "freewheel", and the procedures in this video are for cassette systems, not freewheel systems.
If you're not sure what you've got, watch this other video to help you determine which is which.

Why are we doing this? Sprocket teeth wear over time and no longer engage the chain leading to poor drivetrain train performance and chain skipping. This procedure is also used when replacing the cassette for an upgrade or to changing gear ratios.

Calvin would be Shop Teacher of the Year, every year.
true
I love the way he speaks
Dude is money
100% agree..
Calvin Jones is the best tutorial on youtube. He is a real shop master, mechanic and teacher. I bet he can teach you Calculus and you get it. I watch his videos all the time when I need to repair my bike and when I'm bored. Tumps up Calvin, and thank you.
Man I'm a brand new biker and I am grateful that someone like Calvin is there on RUclips, passing on wisdom. Because I'm surrounded my idiots in my country, including the idiot who sold me this bike.
Absolutely true. In addition I like his 'Walt Disney character' like look
Could not agree more
100% used their tools because of these vids and I've switched to quiet, durable road tires, changed out the cassette for higher top speed and adjusted my derailleur to stop that annoying clicking noise. Top notch tutorials and tools
anyone else watch these for fun ??
Whenever I get the blues I click on over to Park Tool and re-watch my favorite Calvin tutorials. Boom! Blues are gone.
Thats ironic considering Park Tool's signature color hah
the fact that he explained every lockering tool helped me so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much! I used the video to install a new cassette on my old, old bike. I also ended up buying the Park Tools chain pliers (easy to use) and the FR-5-2 removal tool. And afterward, I watched the Park Tools rear derailleur adjustment video because the shift indexing changed a little bit. These videos explained everything perfectly.
Simple and not wasting anyone's time. Best tutorials for bicycle maintenance on RUclips.
Yet another thorough, comprehensive, well-paced, and detailed Park Tool instructional video. Thanks so much, Park Tool. You’re awesome, Calvin!
❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🌷
Mr. Jones always speaks with clarity and excellent diction. I only watch his videos when I need information on bicycle repair and maintenance. I will not rest until the city council erects a bronze statue of him at the bike lane intersection of Wharf and Government streets in my home city Victoria, British Columbia. Ideally, he would be holding a chain whip (or some other awesome Park tool) triumphantly above his head in celebration of having the best bike repair videos on the internet! Well done, Calvin!
Maybe the HMR-4.
This guy knows his stuff. Excellent teacher in his field.
The best tutorial on RUclips 👍
Calvin Jones is the Zeus of the bicycle world!
I have many Park Tool brand tools in part due to these videos.
Calvin and crew do a thorough job with these tutorials.
Park Tool blessing me with clearly communicated cost-saving tutorials once again.
A trusted source to rely on for our covid stay at home bike wrenching hobby. Thank you Calvin Jones!
These tutorials are great - easy to follow and clear. Bought a couple park tools already and will continue to buy their tools simply because of these tutorials. Great work.
I've already watched the videos for adjusting front and rear derailleurs and then followed the process. Made it easy. Having changed my chain, I'm now changing the 8-speed cassette. The instructions are perfect. Thanks Calvin!
Your videos are absolutely awesome. I had ZERO confidence, nor skill, but now i'm able to do many things, and i appreciate it. Thanks.
Calvin is the best, His videos have helped me many a time. Precise and clear.
Love what y'all have done with these videos. Super helpful - thanks so much!
Thank you, Calvin. This video enabled me to buy the right tools (in my case, an SR-2.3 and an FR-5.2G) and remove and replace my rear cassette. Much appreciated!
He just makes everything so simple to understand, fantastic teacher
Very clear & great tips ... took a lot of force so I'm really glad to have the right tool for the job and also thanks for the warning about the awful noise it would make when it first moved!
Thank you so much for all these videos. I have been able to learn exactly what I needed to know and your instructions are so simple yet detailed. Again, thank you 😀
This comes several years too late, but I felt the urge to thank Park Tool and C. Jones for their tutorials. They made my first rear wheel swap a piece of cake. I knew exactly what to do after watching this.
This video contains zero BS. I'm really satisfied.
I know this video is old, but I got to say thank you! I've done maintenance on every part of a bike except 2 parts that I was always hesitant with... the cassette area and crank area. This video has helped me tremendously! It's WAY easier than I thought. Removed the old and installed the new cassette in about 10 minutes! Thank you Calvin for yet another helpful tutorial!
Lucky you mine has broken a chain whip and bent the second one it's ridiculous
These videos are great, just getting back into my bike, and I’ve always liked doing my own maintenance and customisation they are helping greatly 👍🏼
Thanks, for all your informative hints, tips, and knowledge.
The best cycling mechanic videos period. I Love this guy
Thanks again! ,big master...simply the best, MR JONES.
I love things that are exceptionally well explained. Great job.
Thanks Park Tool for your detailed instructions in great tools. Couple bucks more for not half and an order another tool after the third use is well worth that to me. I was sure I knew what I was doing but to see it done before I did it really helped me zipthru the procedure! Freehub off everything cleaned bearings back in in less than 5 minutes.
You are a great teacher as well as a great videographer Calvin.
For 40 years I had freewheels. My new commuter bike had a cassette. Now I have new Park tools. Thanks!
Love Parktool & Calvin’s videos! Thank you!! ❤️
This channel is an absolute treasure chest of knowledge
This video wins, adding the time to skip forward to is an auto thumbs up! Plus fantastic explanation!
Thanks for all the help. This was really useful for wrapping my head around Cassette maintenance.
Sometimes I press the arrow key to fast forward 5 seconds, but for this guy, I watch the whole video. I even tried watching him at a different speed like 0.5 and 0.75, and he's not bored at all. Thanks, you are the man!
Calvin is a great teacher, i'm in the process of changing my cassette & now feel more confident than ever at doing it on my e-bike ! ! ! ! ! :-) LOL
Well filmed, very informative. Two thumbs up
Thank you for your time and effort Park Tool. helpful and educational as always. Keep up the great work.
Changed my cassette for the first time. Thanks again Mr. Jones! 🙏🏻

Thank you! This video helped me with my pandemic DIY project of upgrading the components of my old bike.

Thank you Parktool for the free tutorials.
What can be said for these videos! This guy is pure gold!
Calvin Jones is the best. Thanks for yet another great and informative video.
You're the best Calvin Jones... Thanks!
Good God the best instructional video I’ve seen . I loved the overview the the detail and the perceived pull on the wrench of 50 lbs at 8 inches was amazingly helpful. Thank you very much.
Your videos are great and super easy to follow, thank you!
Great video! Well detailed and professionally done! Thank you so much helped me out a lot!
Well scripted, outstanding clarity and excellent close-ups. Thanks for making this video.
@Carl Green By all means, fit that tool well.
Very informative video - EXACTLY what I was hoping to find
What a great video. About 2 minute after beginning and with the casset removed i thought that it was over, bu it keep going showing everything. Very complete.
Thanks for the instructions. Concise and comprehensive.
Glad I watched this before attempting to remove my cassette tonight. You saved me from a lot of headaches Calvin!
Super informative & clear instructional video, five stars !
Calvin you are a great eye to detail mechanic!
In Calvin we trust. Thanks for the video!
This video is exactly what I was looking for... thanks so much...
I'm from the Philippines and I learn a lot from this guy, its so easy for me to understand him, this guy it so smart tanx...
Top notch instructional video. I find these videos slightly better than CGN's tutorials...it's more thorough and cleaner presentation.
Great help, was able to change my sprocket quickly and easily, thanks so much for these great videos
the best cassette removal/installation video!!! thanks Calvin Jones!
Anyone wanting to teach anything on any subject on RUclips should first learn how to from this good man. If only my school teachers were as nice when I was a kid !
This man is a hero.
Great video. Clear and concise information.
As always, the best bike maintenance vids on youtube :)
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Calvin, outstanding instruction!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for elaborating on cassette removal. Great video. 👍
Yeah Calvin is the double of my dad who is sadly now passed away, so I love watching these for that and the tips, thx Calvin
I'm so glad I found this video, this was a lifesaver.
Calvin Jones is DA MAN!
i really love this stoic clean and precise informations
I returned to this video after five years. It helped me rediscover my lock-tool, chain-whip and wrench. I do worry that I may have replaced the spacers the wrong way around though.
You saved my a** again Calvin. Thank you for the cool video as well as your insight.
Absolute life saver. Thank you for this. Really helpful.
Thank you for these videos :D I started working at a bike factory about 2-3 years ago and these videos were really helpful even though I never got to building bikes, I take good care of mine!
I noticed Calvin using the chainwhip on the smallest cog. I always used the largest cog because I am probably doing it wrong as is my tradition with anything mechanical. I figured that there would be less force on the chainwhip and thus easier to use. Next time Im trying the small one.
Videos like this make me want to take apart my bike "just because" :).
Thanks Calvin - I'll be taking on your advice today...!
Great video. Extremely knowledgeable guy.
I bought a second hand bike cuz I was broke, it was broken and I didnt know anything about bikes... ended up repairing and buying all the tools... now I am building bikes thanks to you ❤😂
All how-to videos should be this straightforward and clear.
Great video and information for do-it-yourself procedure, thank's a lot from Scandinavia.
Calvin for President!
Superb video. Thank you Calvin.
watching this just prevented me from making a huge mistake...thank you so much
These videos are incredibly useful
That tip for using the skewer is brilliant. My removal tool was like this and it took two people to unscrew the cassette. One to hold the whip and apply torque and one to hold the tool in place.
