Can you switch from Shimano to SRAM?
You can’t mix Shimano with SRAM. Until 10s it could work but not no. Now you can’t even mix road and mtb parts from same factory – different pull ratio. If you are going to buy mtb bike you SRAM and Shimano cassette width will be the same – so it can stay after changing shifter and derailleur.
Are Shimano cassettes better than SRAM?
I have run a pretty wide mix of components over the years, and IMO a Shimano cassette shifts faster, smoother, and runs quieter even on an otherwise all SRAM system. Having said that, the SRAM cassettes work well enough that I never worry about it or barely even notice the difference.
Why are SRAM cassettes so expensive?
The SRAM cassettes are lighter because of the lack of spiders connecting the different cogs, and the smaller driver. That’s why they are so expensive too. and at least the highest end stuff (like eagle, possibly some of the 11spd stuff) is machined from a single piece, and isn’t an assembly component.
Are SRAM and Shimano 12-speed cassettes interchangeable?
Technically, a SRAM cassette can work with a 12-speed Shimano chain. However, the combination doesn’t provide the benefits offered by Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrains. 12-speed Shimano chains and cassettes are designed to work in conjunction to optimize shifting under load.
Can you use a Shimano cassette for SRAM derailleur?
Compatibility between different drivetrains SRAM and Shimano cassettes, on either road or mountain bike, are interchangeable with each other as the spacing is the same between the sprockets.
Can I use Shimano cassette with SRAM crankset?
Buyers are free to use a SRAM chain and cassette with their Shimano groupset, and vice versa, just as a SRAM chain can be paired with a Shimano cassette, and vice versa. SRAM’s cassettes and chains are compatible with all of Shimano’s groupsets, and vice versa.
Will SRAM AXS work with Shimano cassette?
Conclusion. To say I’m pleased with the results of the frankentrain would be an understatement. Considering these parts were never designed to play well together, the Sram GX AXS shifter and derailleur work perfectly on the Shimano XTR cassette.
Can you put a 12 speed cassette on a 11-speed hub?
Yes you can run a 9/10/11 & 12 speed cassette on a shimano free hub, a Sunrace 12 speed will fit.
Can you mix Shimano and SRAM components?
Most importantly, YOU CANNOT mix Shimano and SRAM hydraulic brake parts. It’s more than a performance issue — it’s a safety issue. The SRAM rear derailleur (mech) will not work with a Shimano shifter as is; the cable pull and shift activation ratios are not the same between the two systems.
Is SRAM compatible with Shimano?
Shimano and SRAM 5- to 10-speed cassettes and chains are compatible. Shimano likes to say that for “optimal performance,” their components should only be used with other Shimano components, but we’ve mixed and matched SRAM and Shimano in all kinds of combinations with no drop in performance.
Can I use a Shimano chain with a SRAM cassette?
Sram cassettes will work well with Sram or shimano chains. Shimano Cassettes definitely work better with shimano chains for whatever reason. I never get as good of shifting performance using a sram chain on shimano (XT, ultegra, or 105) cassettes. In general, I find that shimano cassette/chain combos are smoother than their sram counterparts.
Is Campagnolo 10 speed casset?
