Shimano's HG500 10-speed cassette is a
Deore/
Tiagra level cassette featuring Shimano''s Hyperglide tooth design for smooth even shifts even while shifting under load. The steel cogs on the
HG500 have been nickel plated for corrosion resistance and to reduce friction. They have been drilled and cut to reduce excess weight where it''s not needed. For additional climbing help the HG500 comes in a wide geared option with a taller low gear. The wide geared cassettes come in the 2 following gear ranges:
- 11-32t: 11-12-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32t
- 11-34t: 11-13-15-17-19-21-23-26-30-34t
To install the
HG500 cassette you will need a lockring tool such as the
Park FR-5, and if you have an existing cassette on the wheel you will also need a chainwhip like the Park
SR-11 chain whip.
