Cassette will this fit?

[Ian222]

Ok so I have a shimano groupset and a sunrace cassette 12 speed with a Microspline freebody and when I bought the bike from the store they gave me a spare sram cassette which I was told will fit. Question is will it fit as that seems a bit odd that sram fits in shimano.
Spec is sram AM CS PG1230 EAGLE 11-50
Sun Race CSMZ80 11-51t 12-Speed

What model Sram cassette is it?

If its a NX it will fit fine

If its a GX or above then it wont fit on that Driver body

 

[Ian222]

Yes a NX.
Ok wow didn’t expect that answer.

 

[Mik3F]

You will have no issues then

The NX cassette uses the Shimano (microspline) driver body

You will have no issues then

The NX cassette uses the Shimano (microspline) driver body

The NX uses the standard HG spline not the Micro spline

 

[Mik3F]

I stand corrected

 

[Ian222]

Ok so it won’t fit then. So when getting a new cassette do I look for a Shimano or sunrace 12 speed Microspline? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

 

[Ian222]

Or I am actually looking at getting another rear wheel so should I get the hg freebody so that it fits? What’s easier to buy/cheaper cassette wise in the future? Microspline or hg?

 

[Mik3F]

Depends,

Whats your current drivetrain - mech etc

Are you planning on changing it?

Personally I would bin off all this 12 speed foolishness and get 10 or 11 speed Shimano linkglide. For example the complete 10 speed deore is £150. That's the cassette, mech, shifter and chain. Thicker cassette to cope with the extra power from an ebike.
This uses a Shimano HG driver.

 

[Ian222]

Not planning on changing no, but never say never.

I think it’s best to sell the sram and get a 12 speed shimano when I need it.

Don’t see much point in getting the linkglide and spending more money for the sake of it. That doesn’t utilise my sram cassette if I buy the complete set as you say.
