FAQs
Is this compatible with 10-speed cassettes?
No, this component is specifically designed for the CS-HG700-11 11-speed cassette.
Do I need a special tool to install this?
Yes, you need a standard bike shop cassette lock ring tool that matches the spline pattern on the ring.
Should I use grease on the threads?
Yes, a light application of grease or anti-seize is recommended to prevent the ring from seizing due to oxidation.
What is the correct torque for this lock ring?
The torque is typically marked on the face of the lock ring itself; for the CS-HG700-11, it is usually 40 Nm.
Can I reuse my old lock ring?
If the threads are in good condition, you can reuse the old one, but replacing it with this genuine spare is recommended if the teeth are worn or the threads show signs of damage.
Troubleshooting
Lock ring won't thread onto the freehub body
Verify that the cassette cogs are fully seated on the splines, as they may be preventing the lock ring from reaching the threads.
Clicking sound while pedaling
Check that the lock ring is tightened to the correct torque; a loose cassette can cause significant noise and potential damage to the freehub.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the lock ring, you will need a standard cassette lock ring tool (typically a splined socket) and a torque wrench.
- Ensure the cassette cogs are seated correctly on the freehub splines.
- Slide the lock ring into place by hand to ensure the threads start smoothly, avoiding cross-threading.
- Use the tool to tighten the lock ring to the recommended specification (usually 40 Nm, as marked on the ring).
Keep the threads clean and apply a small amount of anti-seize or grease to the threads to ensure it can be removed easily during your next maintenance cycle. This product is strictly for the CS-HG700-11; do not attempt to force it onto incompatible hubs or different cassette models.
