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.
