Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cassette compatible with SRAM 11-speed drivetrains?

Yes, as long as your rear wheel uses a Shimano HG style freehub body, this cassette will work with most 11-speed indexing systems.

What is the weight of the cassette?

The Twenty21 11-46T cassette weighs approximately 555g.

Does this require a special chain?

No, it is compatible with standard 11-speed bicycle chains.

Can I use this with a road bike derailleur?

Most road derailleurs do not have the capacity for a 46T cog; ensure your rear derailleur is rated for a 'wide-range' or 'mountain' setup.

What material is the 46T gear made from?

The 46T sprocket is constructed from 7075 alloy to reduce weight.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty shifting into the 46T sprocket

Check your derailleur's B-tension screw and adjust it to move the upper pulley wheel further from the 46T cog.

Cassette feels loose on the freehub

Ensure the lockring is tightened to the recommended torque and verify that all spacers are properly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for high-range gear ratios
  • Durable steel construction on primary gears
  • Wide 418% range ideal for diverse terrain
  • Compatible with widely available Shimano HG standards

Cons

  • Heavier than top-tier titanium or full-alloy cassettes
  • Specific to Shimano HG freehubs only
  • Large weight increase compared to smaller range cassettes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This cassette is compatible exclusively with Shimano HG style freehub bodies. When installing, ensure the freehub splines are clean and apply a thin layer of grease to prevent seizing. Use a standard cassette lockring tool to tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque. Because this is an 11-speed unit, verify that your rear derailleur has the capacity to handle a 46T cog, as some older short-cage derailleurs may require a longer hanger or a derailleur hanger extender to clear the large 46T sprocket. Clean with a degreaser after muddy rides to maintain smooth shifting performance.
