Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this cassette fit a Shimano Micro Spline hub?

No, this cassette is designed specifically for standard Shimano HG-style freehub bodies.

Do I need a special tool to install it?

No, it uses a standard cassette lockring tool compatible with most Shimano-style systems.

Can I use this with an 11-speed derailleur?

No, you must use a derailleur and shifter specifically designed for 12-speed systems.

How much does the cassette weigh?

The SunRace CSMZ90 weighs approximately 586g.

What material are the sprockets made of?

It features ten steel sprockets for durability and two large 7075 aluminum sprockets to save weight.

Is it compatible with 12-speed chains from other brands?

Yes, it is generally compatible with standard 12-speed chains, but using the chain recommended by your derailleur manufacturer is advised.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty shifting into the 50T gear

Adjust the B-tension screw on your rear derailleur to increase the gap between the jockey wheel and the 50T sprocket.

Ghost shifting or chain noise

Check your derailleur hanger alignment and ensure the cable tension is properly indexed at the shifter.

Cassette feels loose after installation

Ensure the lockring is tightened to the specified torque (usually 40Nm) and verify that no spacers were missed during installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with standard HG freehub bodies
  • Wide 11-50T range ideal for 1x drivetrains
  • Fluid Drive Plus ensures reliable shifting
  • High-quality 7075 aluminum aluminum used on larger cogs
  • Cost-effective alternative to proprietary systems

Cons

  • Heavier total weight compared to top-tier cassettes
  • Requires a long-cage 12-speed derailleur for 50T compatibility
  • Not compatible with Microspline or XD drivers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the CSMZ90 requires a standard cassette lockring tool. Ensure the freehub body is clean and free of debris before sliding the cassette on. Because this is a 12-speed cassette, verify that your derailleur is rated for a 50T maximum sprocket capacity and that your chain is sized correctly. To maintain the cassette, periodically clean the sprockets with a drivetrain degreaser and a stiff brush, especially after riding in muddy conditions. Ensure your chain is replaced before it stretches significantly to prevent accelerated wear on the steel and aluminum teeth.
